In my desperation, I'll take anything from you 'Cause what I am is what I need and there is nothing I can do I'm a slave to your frustration and I'm working for this pain But in the end I'm nothing and it doesn't mean a goddamn thing I don't want to live like this I don't want to be like you I don't need what I don't miss This is what I've got to do Well, I don't want to be here, but I just don't have a choice And I'd like to say a prayer, but I cannot find my voice Well, I feel I've lived a lifetime and I guess it's just as well 'Cause the life that I've been given is like living in an empty shell Well, I'm just in denial of the things I cannot do But everything that I can't have is all because of you I don't need a guilty conscience, I don't need to be a star All I need is some redemption, but that just won't get me very far
