|
Don't
|
|
Tell me what's in
|
|
Tell me how to write
|
|
Don¡¯t tell me how to win
|
|
This fight
|
|
Isn¡¯t your life
|
|
It isn¡¯t your right
|
|
To take the only thing that¡¯s
|
|
Mine
|
|
Proven over time
|
|
It¡¯s over your head
|
|
Don¡¯t try to read between the
|
|
Lines
|
|
Are clearly defined
|
|
Never lose sight of
|
|
Something you believe in
|
|
Takin¡¯ in the view from the outside
|
|
Feeling like the underdog
|
|
Watching through the window I¡¯m on the outside
|
|
Living like the underdog
|
|
I¡¯ve been trying to justify you
|
|
In the end I will just defy you
|
|
To those who understand, I extend my hand
|
|
To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am
|
|
Not under your command, I know where I stand
|
|
I won¡¯t change to fit your man, Take me as I am
|
|
As I am
|
|
Still
|
|
Running uphill
|
|
Swimming against the current
|
|
I wish I weren¡¯t so
|
|
Fucked
|
|
Feels like I¡¯m stuck
|
|
Lost in a sea of mediocrity
|
|
¡°Slow down,
|
|
You¡¯re thinking too much
|
|
Where is your soul?¡±
|
|
You cannot touch
|
|
The way I
|
|
Play
|
|
Or tell me what to say
|
|
You¡¯re in the way
|
|
Of all that I believe in
|
|
Takin¡¯ in the view from the outside
|
|
Feeling like the underdog
|
|
Watching through the window I¡¯m on the outside
|
|
Living like the underdog
|
|
I¡¯ve been wasting my breath on you
|
|
Open minds will descend upon you
|
|
To those who understand, I extend my hand
|
|
To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am
|
|
Not under your command, I know where I stand
|
|
I won¡¯t change to fit your plan, take me as I am
|
