Why can't you see what's in my head?
It all goes to waste when I see red

I keep on thinking about myself and who I'm supposed to be
I take some bullshit advice that's been force feed to me

I'm breaking inside
Well, you can't take all my pride
'Cause I'm strong now, I will fight
I won't hide, no, I won't hide

Now that I'm alive and I'm awake
I live for myself, I'm hard to break

You don't go to a whorehouse to pray
When you're hit with the board of addiction
And when I look in the mirror at night
That's me, it's my reflection

I'm breaking inside
Well, you can't take all my pride
I'm strong now, I will fight
I won't hide, no, I won't hide

So you see that it's up to me
'Cause I want to be a better man and you know
That it's always what I said I wanted to be
And I can't be all that I want to be by myself
But you know that's it's always what I said I would be

You don't know me but you'll
Drown now and maybe you'll be this strong
Well, it takes forever, yeah, it takes that long
So don't you drown now, maybe you'll be this strong
Well, it takes forever, yeah, it takes that long

I'm breaking inside
Well, you can't take all my pride
'Cause I'm strong now, I will fight
I won't hide, no, I won't hide

I'm breaking inside
Well, you can't take all my pride
'Cause I'm strong now, I will fight
No I won't hide, no I won't hide
