I'm Not

You and me fighting constantly,
Tell me I’m all-wrong,
And I should change who I wanna be,
Full of hate when I make mistakes,
I guess you’d rather be with a soul-less machine,
Well I tried, I tried, I tried, to compromise with you,
It was clear to me,
That our days were through,
You got good looks but it don’t mean a thing,
When you act like you’re seventeen,
Later on you’ll be the one without a ring!
I’m not gonna change,
Ain’t gonna shed my skin,
I’m gonna be who I wanna be so don’t tell me how to live,
I’ll be on my way,
I’m gonna spread my wings,
I’m gonna fly with the same old soul,
I’m gonna live like I did before,
I was wrong thinking you belong,
‘Cause you’re no good for me,
And there was proof of it all along,
Well I tried, I tried, I tried, to compromise with you,
It was clear to me,
That our days were through,
You got good looks but it don’t mean a thing,
When you act like you’re seventeen,
Later on you’ll be the one without a ring,
I’m not gonna change,
Ain’t gonna shed my skin,
I’m gonna be who I wanna be so don’t tell me how to live,
All that she wanted,
Will remain within her dreams,
All that she wanted,
Was perfection,
Well it don’t exist in her, and it don’t exist in me,
I’m not gonna change,
Ain’t gonna shed my skin,
I’m gonna be who I wanna be so don’t tell me how to live,
I’m not gonna change,
Ain’t gonna shed my skin,
I’m gonna be who I wanna be so don’t tell me how to live,

Run Away

Run away my darling run away,
From the solemn man who wants your heart to break,
Though he might seem kind it’s all fake,
He takes what he wants then he throws it away,
Run away my darling run away,
From the feeling that one day he’ll make a change,
Don’t give him your body, don’t give him your faith,
He’ll take what he wants then he’ll throw you away,
He’ll use and abuse you that’s just the game he plays,
Oh how many times has he straddled the line,
Doing what’s wrong and thinking it’s right?
How many times has he left you behind,
Alone in the dirt, bloodied and hurt?
Why would you ever return?
Run away my darling run away,
From the memory of the man who wouldn’t stay,
No he ain’t worth your time and he ain’t worth the pain,
He took what he had then he threw it away,
Oh how many times has he straddled the line,
Doing what’s wrong and thinking it’s right?
How many times has he left you behind,
Alone in the dirt, bloodied and hurt?
Why would you ever return?
Why would you ever return?
When will you ever learn?

Show Me The Way
03:55

When my heart’s bottled up and inside I’m believing,
It won’t break through,
Try a little love baby,
Quit the abuse,
When a soul needs a guide to help find its’ meaning,
It’s always true,
That a little love baby,
Helps to reduce,
All the time it takes,
To recover from the wounds,
That put a cage,
Overtop of my old heart,
It wasn’t made to be abused,
I hope it gets free soon,
When my mind’s burning up in a fire from the fever,
Caused by you,
Try a little love baby,
Cool down the fuse,
Give some help to a man who has problems believing,
Dreams do come true,
Try a little love baby,
See that they do,
Dreams were made and used,
To forget about the pain,
One gets used to,
All my dreams are in a cage,
I would remove but I’m afraid,
You need to show me the way,
Come to me baby I’ve been waiting for so long,
Help fuel my dreams of holding you in my arms,
‘Cause you know that I believe,
Dreams were made and used,
To forget about the pain,
One gets used to,
All my dreams are in a cage,
I would remove but I’m afraid,
You need to show me the way,

What am I to you?
Some silly little love sick fool?
What am I to you?
The kind of guy that you’d like to abuse?
What am I to you?
The second choice, the lowly number two?
What am I to you, what am I to you?
Oh I’m the type of guy who works hard and hits the ground,
Worked hard to bring ya round but,
You let me down,
Go try and find another no one’s gonna be your lover,
Number one lover, number one lover, yeah,
You think you’ll find another but the truth is there ain’t no other,
Number one lover, number one lover, yeah,
What am I to you?
Some kind of thought, some kind of throw away tool?
What am I to you?
Some twisted game, some kind of string around a spool?
What am I to you?
A brainless man who doesn’t even have a clue?
What am I to you, what am I to you?
Oh I’m the type of guy who works hard and hits the ground,
Worked hard to bring ya round but,
You let me down,
Go try and find another no one’s gonna be your lover,
Number one lover, number one lover, yeah,
You think you’ll find another but the truth is there ain’t no other,
Number one lover, number one lover, yeah,
Go try and find another no one’s gonna be your lover,
Number one lover, number one lover, yeah,
You think you’ll find another but the truth is there ain’t no other,
Number one lover, number one lover, yeah,
