Force me to open my mouth Again because they know I don′t want to Speak loud when they make me feel Like a boy scout So hard to tell them You love them to I can′t give much if I punch back at The one who hits first Trying to make me feel ashamed Because I′m touched God help me see them See my thirst
Tensed But still so calm Alright Leaning on your arm Beautiful spirit Talk to me Holy Spirit Walk with me
They are liberated minds I′m a narrow-minded fool Why must it be That a discussion is about beating My mouth will be Closed if there′s no one seeking
You know I will be there Love is so convincing My words don′t come out right I will stay but not fight Everybody believes in god But it seems like no one does in You But I do
Close the door, turn off the light You′ll never see the bloodshot eyes Cause you never come around The pictures that had lined the halls I smashed and through against the wall Yeah you cut them all down Because you never come around So maybe one day I can get the thought of you Out of my head
You gotta lot of nerve to grab my heart and rip it out You gotta lot of nerve to show me what your all about You gotta lot of nerve to hold me then forget me Like a bad dream
Traded me in hopes to find Some happiness in one more lie Yeah you had it figured out Was there a hint of honesty In anything you said to me Yeah I wrote it all down So I could scream it out loud And maybe one day I could hold it up above Your pretty blonde head
You gotta lot of nerve to grab my heart and rip it out You gotta lot of nerve to show me what your all about You gotta lot of nerve to hold me then forget me Like a bad dream
Made me promise that you′ll try You told me everything is gonna be fine Again the second time I hope its not another lie. You figured it out Tore it all down Lock it all up So I could scream it out
You gotta lot of nerve to grab my heart and rip it out You gotta lot of nerve to show me what your all about You gotta lot of nerve to hold me then forget me Like a bad dream Like a bad dream Like a bad dream Like a bad dream
We haven′t met And that′s okay ′Cause you will be asking for me one day Don′t want to wait In line
The moment is mine believe me
Don′t close your eyes ′Cause it′s a chance worth takin′ And I think that I can shake you
[Chorus:] I know where I stand I know who I am I would never run away when life gets bad, it′s Everything I see Every part of me Gonna get what I deserve I got nerve (I got I got I got)
Electrified, I′m on a wire Getting together we′re on fire What I said you heard Now I got you spinning
Don′t close your mind The words I use are open And I think that I can show you
[Chorus:] I know where I stand I know who I am I would never run away when life gets bad, it′s Everything I see Every part of me I know I can change the world, yeah, yeah, yeah I know what you like I know what you think Not afraid to stare you down until you blink, it′s Everything I see Every part of me Gonna get what I deserve I got nerve
I see through your clothes Your nerve damage shows Trying not to feel Anything that′s real You′re losing control
Meltdown′s looking for a new clown Living in a world that′s make believe Used up burned out always got a hand out Ain′t nothing here for free Now you′re hanging on the edge of tomorrow Let go let it be
New circus freak With black eyes that speak Life takes it′s toll You push and it pulls You′re losing control
Meltdown′s looking for a new clown Living in a world that′s make believe Used up burned out always got a hand out Ain′t nothing here for free Now you′re hanging on the edge of tomorrow Let go let it be
I see thru your clothes Your nerve damage shows You′re losing control
Meltdown′s looking for a new clown Living in a world that′s make believe Used up burned out always got a hand out Ain′t nothing here for free Now you′re hanging on the edge of tomorrow Let go let it be
Hell bent looking for a god send Kicking down the door waiting for a sign Right side turning on the bright side That might not be what you find Wake up move on nothing left to prove Got nightmares in your dreams
