Don’t you compete with me
I don’t need you, stability
I live life flying free
But you just want to cage me

Some things you just cannot keep
Some things you just cannot keep

I’m tired of all your lies
And broken promises, spoken
But now I’ve opened up my eyes
From the dream, I’ve awoken

Some things you just cannot keep
Some things you just cannot keep

I will admit that yes – I am pissed
Opportunities, I know I’ve missed
I’ve sacrificed… so (fucking) much
All for your love… (ALL) for your touch

Some things you just cannot keep
Some things you just cannot keep

I will not be your trophy wife
That’s not how I envision my life
I wasn’t put on the planet… for YOU
There’s so much more than I could do

Some things you just cannot keep
Some things you just cannot keep
