MEANT TO BE

Woke up with sweat on my neck not knowing where I'm gonna go
No lights inside but city lights outside the window
If I just get a hold of the old me
Or maybe just get used to a new me
Something is blocking me out from where I’m trying to go

Escape from the passage in the back of the room where I gotta be
I don't recognize any of the strangers staring back at me
Maybe I should just turn back and run, come to terms with what I’ve done
But my eyes are telling me I've got to go to sleep

Because baby I'm not where I'm meant to be
Can't you see the real me I'm free
I'm trapped inside a memory
Because baby I'm not where I'm meant to be
Can't you see the real me I'm free
I'm trapped inside a memory

I had no reason to suck it up and stay
You never had the ears to listen to what I had to say
A light shined bright in my own two hands
Then it flew away didn't give me a chance
I'm outta my mind on the left side of the highway

Because baby I'm not where I'm meant to be
Can't you see the real me I'm free
I'm trapped inside a memory
Because baby I'm not where I'm meant to be
Can't you see the real me I'm free
I'm trapped inside a memory
Because baby I'm not where I'm meant to be

I was lost in a cloud lost in a place lost in a time
Where people never thought to think and left it up to a puppeteer's mind
And while this guy was pulling the strings
He tugged the end of my arm and pulled me into a dream
And when I woke up I still didn't know what I had to find

Because baby I'm not where I'm meant to be
Can't you see the real me I'm free
I'm trapped inside a memory
Because baby I'm not where I'm meant to be
Can't you see the real me I'm free
I'm trapped inside a memory

Because baby I'm not where I'm meant to be
Can't you see the real me I'm free
I'm trapped inside a memory
Because baby I'm not where I'm meant to be
Can't you see the real me I'm free
I'm trapped inside a memory

Because baby I'm not where I'm meant to be
Because baby I'm not where I'm meant to be, be, be, be, be
