Always moved on fast Never stepped up last to get in I don't feel out of pace It's a doubt you've put in place I'm not in I never looked away and I got up to fall Down Stood my ground Always liked the fun And I learned just when to run... not Waiting Doesn't have to be that way I don't have to lose my way Doesn't have to be that way I don't have to lose my way Always made it right But I never kissed your ass to get in Always liked the fun But I learned just when to run... not waiting Won't beat you at your game, it's your Game Rather rise above rising, rising flame Always stood my ground And I never slept around to get in Doesn't have to be that way I don't have to lose my way Doesn't have to be that way Don't have to lose my way Doesn't have to be that way I don't wanna lose my way Doesn't have to be that way Don't have to lose my way Never stepped on heads But I don't wanna be caught up in just Your light I can see through minded games It's always been the same game you're Playing Don't wanna check on the other side of Every word you say How can I stay still With the lies you put me in? I'm not in Doesn't have to be that way I don't have to lose my way Doesn't have to be that way Don't have to lose my way Doesn't have to be that way I don't wanna lose my way Doesn't have to be that way Don't have to lose my way All the same this blame to fame Power buzz, mind games, Ego states, take control, Mind games, take control.
