I've taken my beating, I've s**t what I made
I've taken my beating, I've shared what I've made
I've taken my beatings
I've shed but I'm me
I've taken my beatings
I've shared what I've made
This is what it says in the liner notes.
Don't be afraid.
I've taken my beating of sh*t that I made.
Don't be afraid.
I've taken my beating, I've shared what I've made.
Forgetting all the herd in sight
You've learn to hide's the bell,
Pretending someone else could come
And take me from the shelf.
Forgetting all the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well,
Pretending someone else can come
And save me from myself.
I can't be what you are tonight.
I can't be who you are…
I can't be who you are, ah.
I can't be who you are…
I dreamed I was message, you were so scared
But no one would listen, there's no one else cares.
I dreamed I was missing, you were so scared
But no one would listen, 'cause no one else cared.
So if you're asking me and what you are tonight.
So if you're asking me, I want you to know.
