they don't need to understand

Andy Black

Growing strong, the voice of my father said
"Don't give it up, don't be forgotten"
This hell on earth, I just want to run away
They told dreams don't grow from here
Stay alone, count your fears
Somewhere down the line I might figure it out

Singing all my songs to bedroom mirrors
Deep inside my heart I am still here

We're always running away
And we don't even stop to think about it
The worlds in our hands
They don't need to understand
We do it our own way
No matter what they try to say about about it
We've got our own plans
They don't need to understand

What made me tough almost killed me
At least that's how I remember the story
Over the years I've forgotten how it was
But I survived and I won't walk down
The same old road that they all followed
It only leads to a life not meant for me

Singing all my songs to bedroom mirrors
Deep inside my heart I am still here

We're always running away
And we don't even stop to think about it
The worlds in our hands
They don't need to understand
We do it our own way
No matter what they try to say about about it
We've got our own plans
They don't need to understand

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

We're always running away
And we don't even stop to think about it
The worlds in our hands
They don't need to understand
We do it our own way
No matter what they try to say about about it
We've got our own plans
They don't need to understand
