Who says my time is up

Who says my light is out

Why do they hang around

Why do I have to shout?



My simple days they're slipping away

And I'm stuck in here trying to get away

From all the eyes that are looking at me

And they're speaking in tongues

And I don't know what they mean

I don't know what they mean



Why can't I just belong

What did I do wrong

Your words cut me like a knife

Give me one so i can make it right



And I'm wondering who said these things

About you and me and won't you tell me please

How can I believe when all they want to believe

Are the lies that won't let me be free
