If I was good
I'd tell everyone I know
If I was free
I wouldn't be so keen to go
If I was wrong
I would take it like a man
If I was smart
I would get out while I can
If I was broken
I would probably let it be
If I was dying
I wouldn't go out quietly
If I was lost
Well my heart would feel the same
If I was honest
I would probably be ashamed
But if I were you
I would notice me
If I were you
I would wait for me
If I were you
I would easily hold me and say
It's all gonna be OK
If I was rich
I would spend it on my own
If I was dignified
I'd only smoke at home
If I was dark
I would only dress in black
If I was chosen
I would gladly give it back
It's not for you to judge
From all this kind of stuff
I'm only half of what you see
I never know what to say....
Take my hand
Break my stride
Make me smile
For everytime I've cried
Hold my heart
In the palm of your hand
Don't listen to it breakin'
Just listen to the band
Do you wanna ride in my car
Its parked out on the street
Or just stay with me a while
Before I fall asleep
Take these tears
Wash your skin
I'm havin' trouble breathin'
Since you walked in
My hands are tied
My head is reelin'
My eyes have cried
A million tears
From wishin' you were here
All my life
I've welcomed pain
I've made up more excuses
To bring it back again
Now I'm here
And I'll drink to the shame
I'll drink to the madness
That made me this way
Just help me please.....
Am I not pretty enough
Is my heart too broken
Do I cry too much
Am I too outspoken
Don't I make you laugh
Should I try it harder
Why do you see right through me
I live, I breathe, I let it rain on me
I sleep, I wake, I try hard not to break
I crave, I love, I've waited long enough
I try as hard as I can
I laugh, I feel, I make believe it's
real
I fall, I freeze, I pray down on my knees
I hope, I stand, I take it like a man
I try as hard as I can
But it never seems enough......
