The Real You - Dear Mom and Dad

tonight I fall asleep under starless skies
praying my life wont pass me by
yet I'd love to be stuck in this moment forever

this time I wanna be the one who said "I told you so"

reality scares me to death
I'm afraid to close my eyes
running out of places to hide, oh I tried
waiting for the sun to sink into the ocean

please don't make me say this again

this time I wanna be the one who said "I told you so"
it doesnt have to end this way
running from the only home I've ever known

please don't make me say this again, even though I should
you ran just like I knew you would
and if this makes you happy I'll go, without another word
I'll spare you the hurt...

CHORUS

reality scares me to death (YOU MADE ME LEAVE)
I'm afraid to close my eyes (WHY DONT YOU LOVE ME?)
running out of places to hide, oh I tried (I TRIED)
