Cornered de Ensign

Dont hold me up to be
something that im not
i never said i had all the answers
or that i didnt make mistakes
you need someone to believe in
but im the same as you
and i cant make the promise
that ill never let you down
why should i sacrifice myself
so you can think that we feel the same
my life, my actions
are scarred with imperfections
i never asked to be a hero
dont make me play that role
you want someone to look up to
im afraid it isnt me
i wont be the one to save your soul
why should i sacrifice myself
so you can think that we feel the same
what happens when i let you down
what makes my words so important
that they stand above the rest
all youre done is isolate me
and make me feel out of place
is it the real me, that you want to know
or who you think i should be
these walls that stand between us
are walls that dont belong
all youve done is separate us
is that really what you want
