These eyes strain from the pressure of virtuosity
Hate putting myself out there for your validity
The side of me that you don't see
Is busy cursing you out behind gritted teeth
Wish you could know what it feels like when you are bending over backward
Just to have everyone you know go from your defense to attackers
Well whose side are you really on
Gotta learn to just tune you out
When you're filling my ears with doubt
Grab your gossip and turn around
Shining bright you can't bring me down
Slice me, but not too thin
So I'm reborn again
And to the world please hear our cry
Let's raise a toast our glasses high
To anybody whoever made us feel like a joke
If not for you then where'd we be
Void of all our dignity
So say goodnight as your remarks go up in smoke
Well whose side are you really on
Gotta learn to just tune you out
When you're filling my ears with doubt
Grab your gossip and turn around
Shining bright you can't bring me down
You say that I'm this but you really meant that
It's hard to lay down with a knife in your back
The things that we say have a lasting effect
The more that we say then the more we're a wreck
Don't offer me words that I didn't ask for
If I wanted opinions I'd look to the floor
They don't mean a thing from up where I stand
So live in the dirt with your reprimand
Gotta learn to just tune you out
When you're filling my ears with doubt
Grab your gossip and turn around
Shining bright you can't bring me down
