What I Want

I want to be free
Free of my old life
Free of those who drag me backwards
Got to get away and do what's right for me

I want someone to save me
Save me from my 'friends'
Save me from a false shallow love
Need a real villain with a real love for me

Want to live my life
My life the way I see it
My life of art, theater and books
Have to have the job that’s healthy for me

I want to live out my own dream
A dream not in line with the "American Dream"
A dream not influenced by others' dreams
Want to live my life the way I want

I want the love of a man who does not exist
I have the shallow love of one who idealized me
I want the lasting love you find in faerie tales very rarely
I have the false love of someone who made up me

Am I doomed to want what I can't have?
Or is he just waiting for me to come to him
Do I even dare try to reach for the impossible?
Or do I just need to say the right words and he'll be here

I want to be taken far away from here
To a castle beyond the city
Where humans are far and few between,
And where nothing is as it seems.
