My life's a contradiction Split into reality and fiction My life's a product of indecision Of fear that retains me like prison The imperfection in me I built my castle I built my walls To protect me from all the world holds All I wanted to be was a brave man But the choices I make, the path that I take have made me to who I am It took so long to see, to understand what I've grown to be There's so much more in me My heart had good intentions If they were the cause of my actions If there was something I could have done To hold me away from the coward I've become The imperfection in me I built my castle I built my walls To protect me from all the world holds All I wanted to be was a brave man But the choices I make, the path that I take have made me to who I am There's so much more in me, so much more to set free It took so long to see to understand what I've grown to be All I wanted to be was a brave man But the choices I make, the path that I take have made me to who I am It took so long to see, to understand what I've grown to be There's so much more in me
