Lyrics

[Verse 1]
To be an angel in the shade
To live forever, never fade
To be the hero you count on to save the day
I'm not a statue, not a saint
I'm far from perfect, see my mistakes
I won't hide them, no, I won't run away
[Verse 2]
If you're gonna win the race
Catch your drift and break away
From the pack, they keeping pace
But you'll break away
[Verse 3]
So what to do with the voices in your head?
They'll drag you down into the dregs
The sewers overflow with those who second guess
They will hold you to the flame
Where all that's temporary burns away
To be eternal, you will need your sanity
[Verse 4]
I just really wanna be someone you can look up to
Someone who inspires you
I just really wanna be someone you can look up to
I just wanna light a fire in you
[Verse 5]
Don't catch me falling
Don't catch me falling
If you see me in the light of day
Don't catch me falling
[Verse 6]
Don't catch me falling
Don't catch me falling
If you see me in the light of day
Don't catch me falling
[Verse 7]
Don't catch me falling
Don't catch me falling
If you see me in the light of day
Don't catch me falling
