I don't want back
Trying to pin me down
Trying to blink my eyes
And push me to the ground
Tried to make me stay
Forget all of my plans
Climb up on the hill
Just to be the bigger man

But I'll still be wayward
So put your control to rest now
Still be wayward
It's time to be done with suppressing
All the light you gain from souls on fire
But if I'm not wayward
Then who the hell am I?
Then who the hell am I?

Trying to force a spark
Darling that ain't there
Tried to pick a rose
From a garden plainly bare
Tried to put the blame on everyone around
Took me long enough to know
There's never common ground

But I'll still be wayward
So put your control to rest now
Still be wayward
It's time to be done with suppressing
All the light you gain from souls on fire
But if I'm not wayward

Then who the hell am I
To let you walk all over me
Then who the hell am I
To let you suppress my dreams
And who the hell am I
To give it up by any means
So if I'm not wayward
Then who the hell am I?
