save your breath, bite your tongue
clutch your chest, drop the gun
stay possessed, fly so high

i can't be who you want me to be, can't believe what you want me to be
can't you see what you're asking of me, can't believe what you're asking of me
can't complete what you've fastened for me, can't believe you're so passive to me
i can't be what you want me to be, i can't be who you want me to be

take a step, don't look back, and leap away
stop your heart, take a gasp, and push away
save your breath, bite your tongue, and fly away
take a step, don't look back, and leap away
