[Intro]
[Verse 1]
His life's been dim for 12 long years
He doesn't say much but it drowns in fears
Works so hard for someone else
And never enough before himself
[Refrain]
And he walks
Down the road
[Verse 2]
He's livin' someone else's life
Striving towards what's normal, right?
Settling for the past
That others put before him
[Refrain]
And he walks
Down the road
[Chorus]
I don't wanna live that way
Yeah I used to dream, but now I'd stay awake
My heart has died but my will is strong
And I can't back down today
I gotta do it my way
[Verse 4]
He's grinding away day by day
Forced to live that normal way
Biting his tongue and shaking his head
Saying 'This ain't mе, but you instead'
[Refrain]
And he walks
Down the road
[Verse 5]
Afraid to claim thе life that's right
Pursuing his dreams is the spirit's fight
Settling for what other's say
Defeats the life that you've pushed away
You gotta dam the road
[Chorus]
I don't wanna live that way
I used to dream, but now I'd stay awake
My heart has died but my will is strong
And I can't back down today
I gotta do it my way
[Outro]
