A life on the edge The laughter of the people as soundtrack was more I could stand That's how you met me, a girl dressed in black With a sorrowful story to tell You told me how to act You told me how to talk You told me the way how to make people love me A puppet in your hands, as I swallow my pride But my voice's burning in my throat And I must tell you I'm not what you want me to be And I won't be what you force me to be So hear me out, hear me out You gotta hear my shout Hear me out, hear me out I won't let you bring me down Hear me out, hear me out You'll watch me take the door So hear me out, hear me out You can't control me anymore Remember those days Remember the tears that I shed and the hatred I felt I can't live like that I simply don't care, you must like me the way that I am I'm not what you want me to be And I won't be what you force me to be So hear me out, hear me out You gotta hear my shout Hear me out, hear me out I won't let you bring me down Hear me out, hear me out You'll watch me take the door So hear me out, hear me out You can't control me anymore So hear me out, hear me out You gotta hear my shout Hear me out, hear me out I won't let you bring me down Hear me out, hear me out You'll watch me take the door So hear me out, hear me out You can't control me anymore
