I'd better be careful with what I say
|
One wrong word & all will change
|
Dialing a number in a darkened room
|
My heart is pounding, 'cause you might be coming soon
|
What makes you think you know what's good for me
|
There's so much goin' on that you can't see
|
Don't think you will ever make me like you
|
Whatever you do, I will undo "They're not like us!"
|
Who I'm with, where I go, and what I do
|
From now on, it's not up to you
|
You might push a few of us out of reach
|
But we're never gonna practice what you preach
|
All I know is this don't feel right to me
|
And I'm never gonna be what you want me to be
|
"They're not like us!"
|
"It's not like you've never done anything for me"
|
"Believe me, you've done more than enough"
|
"And you've given me plenty"
|
You gave me sight, you made me close my eyes
|
You gave me the truth, you taught me how to lie
|
You gave me this air that I can't breathe
|
You gave me a future I'm not sure I wanna see
|
You gave me hope, you made me insecure
|
You made me think that you had the only cure
|
You gave me horizons I'll never see
|
You gave me scars I'm sure that will never heal
|
You gave me faith, you made me doubt myself
|
You gave me the rope, you let me hang myself
|
You gave me something to be afraid of
|
You made me what I am today!
|
You gave the key, you made me lock the door
|
You gave me pain, you made me beg for more
|
You gave me this air that I can't breathe
|
You gave me a future I'm not sure I wanna see
|
You gave me strength, you made me feel so weak
|
You gave me the truth, you made me disbelieve
|
You gave me something to be afraid of
|
You made what I am today!
