"Make Believe" lyrics

"Make Believe"

I can’t see what it is that you want me to see
Let alone could I ever believe
That there is only one way to be
And somehow you were given the key

I was just a little kid, I trusted you
You never meant to lie, you didn't know the truth
Don’t get to tell me what to do anymore
Don’t get to tell me how to live anymore

I don’t need to keep my head out of the clouds
Don’t need to keep my feet back on the ground
I’m never buying what you’re selling
To me it’s only make believe

I won’t do what it is that you tell me to do
I have seen what you had to go through
Not what I had expected from you
I guess I had expected the truth

I was just a little kid, thought you’d teach me how to live
Put my trust in you, but all I got was rules
Don’t get to tell me what to do anymore
Don’t get to tell me how to live anymore

I don’t need to keep my head out of the clouds
Don’t need to keep my feet back on the ground
I’m never buying what you’re selling
To me it’s only make believe

I don’t need a map to find my way back home
Don’t need a book to teach me how to love
Don’t tell me that you know the ending
To me it’s only make believe

You don’t get to tell me what to do anymore
You don’t get to tell me how to live anymore
You don’t get to tell me what to do anymore
You don’t get to tell me how to live anymore
You don’t get to tell me what to do anymore
You don’t get to tell me how to live anymore
You don’t get to tell me what to do anymore
You don’t get to tell me how to live anymore
Anymore, Anymore, Anymore

I don’t need to keep my head out of the clouds
Don’t need to keep my feet back on the ground
I’m never buying what you’re selling
To me it’s only make believe

I don’t need a map to find my way back home
Don’t need a book to teach me how to love
Don’t tell me that you know the ending
To me it’s only make believe
