| Shut your mouth 'cause you’re never quiet.
|
| You put it out when I tried to light it.
|
| This is a race that I will not lose.
|
| I’ll chase it 'til my legs give out.
|
| What is it you want from me?
|
| To become what you would be?
|
| But I would rather take my chances
|
| At running like the wind to take advantage, but until then
|
| Shut your mouth 'cause you’re never quiet.
|
| You put it out when I tried to light it.
|
| This is a race that I will not lose.
|
| I’ll chase it 'til my legs give out.
|
| When I do what I love
|
| I find myself looking back again.
|
| And as I wait for you all
|
| To judge my every move that I make,
|
| You’d love to watch me go down again,
|
| And I would come to know that
|
| You’ll never support this.
|
| Go ahead and cast your little judgmental glances;
|
| I’m not defenseless.
|
| Stomp aloud and flaunt your oh-so pompous stature.
|
| I’m where perception plays an
|
| Important role in how you control them.
|
| I’m not going to waste my breath on
|
| Giving up to who you want me to be
|
| Shut your mouth 'cause you’re never quiet.
|
| You put it out when I tried to light it.
|
| This is a race that I will not lose.
|
| I’ll chase it 'til my legs give out.
|
| When I do what I love
|
| I find myself looking back again.
|
| And as I wait for you all
|
| To judge my every move that I make,
|
| You’d love to watch me go down again,
|
| And I would come to know that
|
| You’ll never support this.
|
| It’s what I want when nobody had my back.
|
| It’s what I need when I’m feeling all alone.
|
| And what I want is just to know to myself
|
| Is that nobody else will break me down.
|
| When I do what I love
|
| I find myself looking back again.
|
| And as I wait for you all
|
| To judge my every move that I make,
|
| You’d love to watch me go down again,
|
| And I would come to know that
|
| You’ll never support this. |
