I'm comin' up for air so I can  Check myself again and I stand  Proven to the man but sheltered  Confidence we tend to shelf and  Unexpected hunger traps me  Just shut up and stand beside me  I don't need your understanding  I don't need to change a damn thing    And though I'm used to have you here   It does not change the man I was  When you found me and there was no else around me  Just turn the page and watch me grow  There's so many things you don't know about my soul  Live and die but this will not get old    Just when you think that you're down and out  Don't preconceive what I'm all about  Look for a reason that you have to start  Acting like a friend that you are not  And when you think that we played it out  We come from the bottom and knock it out  Look for a reason that you have to start  Acting like a friend but you are not, yeah    Nothing in between to fall through  I'm being myself, who are you?  You stand above and look down  You're just a plagiaristic clown  You suck the life out of me  You keep track of the petty  And when this well becomes dry  You'll shed a tear for another lie    And though I'm used to have you here   It does not change the man I was  When you found me and there was no else around me  Just turn the page and watch me grow  There's so many things you don't know about my soul  Live and die but this will not get old    Just when you think that you're down and out  Don't preconceive what I'm all about  Look for a reason that you have to start  Acting like a friend that you are not  And when you think that we played it out  We come from the bottom and knock it out  Look for a reason that you have to start  Acting like a friend but you are not, yeah    And though I'm used to have you here   It doesn't change the man I was  When you found me and there was no else around me  Yeah, yeah, yeah, ohhh    Just when you think that you're down and out  Don't preconceive what I'm all about  Look for a reason that you have to start  Acting like a friend that you are not  And when you think that we played it out  We come from the bottom and knock it out  Look for a reason that you have to start  Acting like a friend but you are not, yeah
