I'm coming up for air so I can Check myself again and I stand Proven to the man but sheltered Confidence we tend to shelf and Unexpected hunger drives me Just shut up and stand beside me I don't need your understanding I don't need to change a damn thing And though I'm used to have you here It doesn't change the man I was When you found me And there was no one else around me, yeah Just turn the page and watch me grow There's so many things that you don't know About my soul Live and die but this will not get old Just when you think that you're down and out Don't preconceive what I'm all about Look for a reason that you have to start Acting like a friend that you are not And when you think that we played it out We come from the bottom and knock it out Look for a reason that you have to start Acting like a friend but you are not, yeah Nothing in between to fall through I'm being myself who are you You stand above and look down You're just a plagaristic clown You suck the life out of me You keep track of the pity And when this well becomes dry You'll shed a tear for another lie And though I'm used to have you here It doesn't change the man I was When you found me And there was no one else around me, yeah Just turn the page and watch me grow There's so many things that you don't know About my soul Live and die but this will not get old Just when you think that you're down and out Don't preconceive what I'm all about Look for a reason that you have to start Acting like a friend that you are not And when you think that we played it out We come from the bottom and knock it out Look for a reason that you have to start Acting like a friend but you are not, yeah And though I'm used to have you here It doesn't change the man I was When you found me And there was no one else around me, yeah, yeah, yeah ooh Just when you think that you're down and out Don't preconceive what I'm all about Look for a reason that you have to start Acting like a friend that you are not And when you think that we played it out We come from the bottom and knock it out Look for a reason that you have to start Acting like a friend but you are not, yeah
