You think you know the road you're walking on
You think you know who you're going to be
You had it all set out in front of you, but you couldn't see
Just when you feel safe in your castle
Built with love and fear
The walls are falling down all around you, no protection here
She throws you a rope to pull you in
And gives you a place to hide
Life is a b****, sometimes I wish I could ride the waves on the tide
To reach the other side
Where I can rest easy in my bed covered in a sheet of silk
And everything is how it should be and my cup is filled
She throws you a rope to pull you in
And gives you a place to hide
Life is a b****, sometimes I wish I could ride the waves on the tide
To reach the other side
But I'm still alive
I'm trying to be what it is that is expected of me
I am strong in what I believe
Though I might be wrong
You think you know who you're going to be
You had it all set out in front of you, but you couldn't see
Just when you feel safe in your castle
Built with love and fear
The walls are falling down all around you, no protection here
She throws you a rope to pull you in
And gives you a place to hide
Life is a b****, sometimes I wish I could ride the waves on the tide
To reach the other side
Where I can rest easy in my bed covered in a sheet of silk
And everything is how it should be and my cup is filled
She throws you a rope to pull you in
And gives you a place to hide
Life is a b****, sometimes I wish I could ride the waves on the tide
To reach the other side
But I'm still alive
I'm trying to be what it is that is expected of me
I am strong in what I believe
Though I might be wrong
