Tell me are you happy enough,
Now that you're placing all your trust
Into the ones, who let you down?
And although you place the blame on us
You know we'd never make a fuss
Even if you run into the ground
Please be strong, know that I don't belong
Happiness is not mine to hold
Now I relinquish all control
To the ones who have all that I own
This isn't me, I swear it
I live my life vicariously
Bury my head beneath the sheets
Now I'll only be free in my dreams
This isn't me, I hate it
Now I know you're taking baby steps
To escape what hides beneath your bed
Though you never wandered far
From your mother's arms
it's sad to say the only lessons left
Come to us only when we take the test
So darling guard your heart
You're a precious work of art
Please be strong, know that I don't belong
Happiness is not mine to hold
Now I relinquish all control
To the ones who have all that I own
This isn't me, I swear it
I live my life vicariously
Bury my head beneath the sheets (under the sheets)
Now I'll only be free in my dreams
This isn't "free", and I hate it
You've spent all your life
Wishing someone will hold your hand
In keeping faithful to the lies
You think we'd never understand
Your apprehension's got your tongue
Tied tightly, holding your mouth shut
I didn't want to be the one
To tell you that it's time to run
I know you're taking baby steps
Quicken the pace, sing "Count me blessed"
My love, we're taking baby steps
Moving forward toward our end
Love, we're escaping certain death
But this is our day, our happiness
