Save your breath cause,
I’m not gonna be who you want me to be

This may not make sense to somebody
who can’t see past their
own arrogance

life is not a game
that you can play with no consequence

you’re still playing with this fire
like you’ve done nothing wrong
won’t be the first to burn you
the last to hurt you
but it must be their fault

Now how much longer will
You cut me, and bleed me
and act like i can see
through the chains you gave me
swore it wouldn't make me, 
tie myself down
to the chair that keeps me here,
sitting, waiting, hoping and praying

That you won't let me drown
Been pulled from the water
And sinking no longer

If you had it your way,
you’d find some way to keep me blind

no, i am not your slave
I’m hanging by your every word
you drag me down, define my worth
no i will never be
what you want me to be
I was all you ever needed
i wish you would, i wish you could see it

I have lost my mind
trying to turn wrongs to right
convince me i’m the one
to blame for all that has been done
a voice behind the curtain
shrouded and uncertain
you’re a coward in the mirror
now its coming clearer

I represent everything
thats missing in yourself

What you can not have
What you can not be
What will never make you whole

if you had it your way
you’d find some way to keep me blind

no, i am not your slave
I’m hanging by your every word
you drag me down, define my worth
no i will never be
what you want me to be
I was all you ever needed
i wish you would, i wish you could see it

You had your chance
To change the tides
But it was your choice
Now pay the price
