when i said that I never wanted to be somebody  I never said no words so untrue  I always wanted to be just like you  whatever that meant  I said, let's just forget about it forget about it forget about lost causes and forget about dark closets,  in which we slept,  I guess that I'm better off then  I'm better off than dead, just like you said.  as we could, when we can, we did what we did that we could with what we had  but oh, the sunshine gleamed so bright today I tied on my shoes tight today  to keep my feet just walking straight  so i won't stand in place  I held up my head high today  I like my loads kept light today  I hold onto you right - this way you'll never be afraid
