Deep inside my heart, I'm still here
[Chorus]
We're always running away
And we don't even stop to think about it

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Singing all my songs to bedroom mirrors
Deep inside my heart, I'm here
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Streets of my hometown seem strange now
They feel like a distant memory
I'm always fighting cause I know you're trying
But you can never take this dream from me
[Chorus]
[Outro]
