Rewrite the Story

(hmmm-mm) I know I left the porch light burning low

I took the long way where the wild flowers grow

I couldn't stay inside the lines you drew for me

I had to see what else

my heart could be

And I'm sorry

that I broke the mold

Leaving behind the stories that you told

But the wind is calling

I am choosing my own road now!

(my own

road) Forgive me for the things I had to let down!

But I am standing on my own two feet

Making music from a different beat

I see your pictures hanging on

the wall

I still love

you

through it all

But the silence in the hallways was too loud

I had to run to make

myself feel proud

It takes some courage just to

fall apart

To trust the pieces of a

heavy heart

(ooh,

forgive me)

I am choosing my own road now!

Forgive me for the things I had to let down!

But I am standing on my own two feet

Making music from a different beat

I had to choose

me (mmm-mm)
