Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Isn't it funny how you never really screamed at my face But your anger's so unspoken and unchanneled Permeates my essence to the point where I Don't want to see you, hear you, be anywhere near you You probably think I'm threatened by you But your illusionary power doesn't threaten me Actually I think it's kinda funny That you create an illusion that is a mirror I don't appreciate you And I know that that surprises you I suppose you see that those who follow their heart always win Those with integrity have won the match before it's begun So rather than being kicked around I'm gonna kick you to the curb So rather than being pushed around I'm gonna push you away first So rather than trying to protect you I'm gonna cover my bases first So rather than trying to open my heart I'm gonna lock it with a key So that only the special ones Can ever get through to me Some can see beyond the barrier of threshold Where as others can see beyond their sculptured mold You could offer me nothing You could offer me nothing that I need Do you think I'm asking too much A kind of respect and trust that shouldn't ever be questioned How can I open my heart With dishonesty sitting next to me I've honored your honor to the point of embarrassment But innocence in the hands of the guilt-free is kicked to Is kicked to the curb I was ashamed of my innocence I was ashamed of my innocence But now with clarity I see that Your bullshit is just not worthy of me So rather than being kicked around I'm gonna kick you to the curb So rather than being pushed around I'm gonna push you away first So rather than trying to protect you
