When I was young, my mother told me never to lie The truth will set you free Will set all of us free I knew no better, I believed her, now I'm stuck in a rut This is not who I want to be I just want to be somebody else In a time where it kills To be too honest with yourself To fake who you are And be somebody else This is the same thing you did Last summer, do you remember We are the pattern We are a carousel We kept falling off of the horse But got back on More than just once And if that's not what it takes To be something perfect Then I guess I'll never know what is I'll never know what is If this is crazy I never wanna know what's sane Caught like a deer in the headlights So hit the brakes Outside of your window In the pouring rain And I am screaming For your name This is the same thing you did Last summer, do you remember We are the pattern We are a carousel We kept falling off of the horse But got back on More than just once And if that's not what it takes To be something perfect Then I guess I'll never know what is I'll never know what is.
