lyrics
VS 1:
It's funny how we think that independence
Will come so naturally
It may not seem like it
But all I want is to make you proud of me
I'm sorry I don't always have the words
To express my gratitude
I know deep down and I think you know too
That I'd be nothing without you
CHORUS:
Give me shelter
From the mess I've made
All expenses paid
Give me shelter
From this mess I've made
All expenses paid
All expenses paid
VS 2:
I'd like to take a one-way trip
To somewhere where I've never been before
But for now just leave me in my room
And don't forget to close the door
Tell me I ain't got the motivation
To leave my comfort zone
I'd prefer it if for just once
You could leave me the hell alone
*CHORUS*
BRIDGE:
How much more can I take?
How many more smiles have I gotta fake
Before I get something right
Before I finally learn to live my life?
