Can't Admit It

I don't want to admit it

I'm not the hero I thought I'd be

I don't want to admit it

I'm not the villain I thought we'd be

I don't want to admit it

But it's everything I am

I don't want to admit it

But everything else is a sham

I don't want to admit it

But it amplifies each day

No, it's nothing to do with you

There's nothing to fear,

What you're really seeing is all of me

It's nothing to do with you

Nothing to fear

It's just what I am

I am a trick

I don't want to admit it

But it's the only way

I don't want to admit it

But I can't see any other way

I don't want to admit it

But you're in every nightmare

If you can dream, dream now,

If you can think, think about how,

How you'll achieve that dream,

And fly like the butterfly you were meant to be.
