Dilate

Pretend it's okay, I'm fine in all of your eyes
I hide it so well I fool myself sometimes
Living day by day, my whole life's been rehearsed
To die or pass away; I forget which one's worse

So, what gives you the right
To push me off to the side?
I've got a lot to learn as a man
Do you know what it's like?
Can't even look in your eyes
Growing up didn't go as I planned

I'm not a brave soul, I never claimed to be
Dilate my life, show what I want you to see
Uptight and anxious, feels like I've lost control
Someone take the wheel, I've already let go

So what gives you the right
To push me off to the side?
I've got a lot to learn as a man
Do you know what it's like?
Can't even look in your eyes
Growing up didn't go as I planned

I'm dying for the innocence
That I can never, ever have again
We're dying for the innocence
That we can never, ever have again
Never, ever have again

So what gives you the right?
To push me off to the side?
I've got a lot to learn as a man
Do you know what it's like?
Can't even look in your eyes
Growing up didn't go as I planned

So what gives you the right?
To push me off to the side?
I've got a lot to learn as a man
Do you know what it's like?
Can't even look in your eyes
Growing up didn't go as I planned
