Sitting' at a table Thanksgiving day when you were three,
Your father hit you in the mouth and you started to bleed.
You were punished 'cause you weren't really hungry!
Ten years old and you're making everyone ashame,
'Cause you'd rather play guitar than be the star in the game.
I don't want to be a nobody.
I put my head in the sand 'cause I don't want to face it,
Lonely know without you.
You still don't understand why it's myself I been hurting,
For you, I never measured up to you
Oh Lord, set me free!
It ain't over now.
Hurtin' myself 'cause you ain't here to do it.
Still ain't over now.
Hurt me so badly inside.
It ain't over now.
Hurtin' myself 'cause you ain't here to do it.
Still ain't over now.
Hurt me so badly inside.
Oh Lord, set me free!
Stare in the mirror, take a long hard look at myself
The reflection paints a picture of somebody else.
Should I really feel ashamed just to see it?
Judgement was something you had taught me to believe.
You tried to make me be somebody that I couldn't be.
Should I really feel ashamed just to be it?
I put my head in the sand 'cause I don't want to face it.
Lonely now without you.
You still don't understand it's myself I been hating.
You, I never measured up to...
You ask me the same question
About the way I choose to live
That is none of your damn business
But here we go again
I don't need no liquor it only holds me down
I just need some money and I'll be satisfied
You throw that line to pick up a fight
Everybody knows you're dead
You're the dirt
I will remove
You are out - I am not
Everybody knows you're dead
You're the twig I'm about to
Snap in two
All my lessons I have learnt
Pretty much nothing I just follow my mind
There's no one there to help you
Unless you help yourself
I ain't got the answers
Only results
There are a million ways to be hated
And this is one of those
I am way too selfish to care anymore
This is my home here and you are the quest
Behave yourself be nice,and I will treat you right
