The Way You Live
Same old story, guy that tried to change me....Well I stopped caring about him...or started caring about myself..don't really know...
I’m tired of being tired and sick of being sick
You made me believe I owe everything to this affair
Now I know who you are and I’m leaving with this
Cause for the first time I’m happy to say I don’t care
You have gone much too far trying to make me change
Don’t you think I would’ve changed by now if I wanted to?
Sorry but this is me, not your bird in a cage
Cause for the first time I’m not afraid to tell the truth
-Chorus-
I sacrifice everything and I get nothing in return
Except for a bandage that has already been worn
“It’s not right!” I yell, but you don’t have to be fair
You can’t deny that I’m the only one who has to give
No matter what I say you’re still gonna dare
But it’s hard for me to understand the way you live
If I didn’t say no it don’t mean I said yes
You had me losing a game I never wanted to play
Don’t you know you can’t live your whole life in this mess?
And for the first time I’m happy to mean what I say
I have no reason to be ashamed of myself
Is it a trend, trying to change something that you can’t be?
Because I will never turn into someone else
And for the first time I’m not afraid to get to see
-Chorus-
I sacrifice everything and I get nothing in return
Except for a bandage that has already been worn
“It’s not right!” I yell, but you don’t have to be fair
You can’t deny that I’m the only one who has to give
No matter what I say you’re still gonna dare
But it’s hard for me to understand the way you live
-Bridge-
Weren’t you the one saying I should break the rules?
You break all of them and I only break yours
-Chorus-
I sacrifice everything and I just get wounds in return
And the only bandage I have’s already been worn
“It’s not right!” I yell, but you don’t have to be fair
I’m sorry but I have nothing else left to give
No matter what I say you’re not gonna care
But I finally understand the way you live
Oh I finally understand the way you live
…..
And I’m telling you, no I could never live that way
