Buckle up you shoes and get your head out of the clouds, you’re better off alone
It’s better to learn now that life is cold and no one’s gonna hold your hand when you’re grown
And you are stronger than you feel
All you need is time for the pain to heal
Don’t be believing in me, I am wrong all the time, I am wrong
But if that’s all that you see then I guess I was right all along
There’s a wide adventure in the dark, as scary as it is when you start to run
If you keep on going in the end morning’s gonna send a ray of golden sun
And you find that there is more
Than you had when you opened up the door
Don’t be believing in me, I am wrong all the time, I am wrong
But if that’s all that you see then I guess I was right all along
No prince is gonna save you from your castle in the sky
You can wait around forever but these chances pass you by
The rain will wash you senseless through a river of your doubts
But when you come up gasping you will know how to swim out
Don’t be believing in me, I am wrong all the time, I am wrong
But if that’s all that you see then I guess I was right all along
You don’t have to follow all the rules, play the game you want and run a little wild
Never let them tell you you’re too old, be sensible and stop being a child
Only you know what’s right
Find the colour in between the black and white
Don’t be believing in me, I am wrong all the time, I am wrong
But if that’s all that you see then I guess I was right all along
