Don't Waste Your Breath

Despite your efforts and best attempts
 And all the stab wounds in our chest
 We find a way
 To keep our heads up high
 Through everything until the day we die
 Maybe you don't think I think for myself
 I hear you tell me one thing then see you do something else
 I've had enough prejudice against me
 So don't just assume I need to be told what to believe
 We've become so different from who we used to be
 Don't waste your breath
 That just won't work for me
 I've already decided who I want to be
 Although I used to be like you
 I found the road to my own truth
 It's just a matter of time until you come around too
 This fight is near; it's impending fate
 The swelling waves are going to break
 We're heading for disaster; it's the end
 There isn't much more that I can take
 We've become so different from who we used to be
 Don't waste your breath
 That just won't work for me
 I've already decided who I want to be
 Although I used to be like you
 I found the road to my own truth
 It's just a matter of time until you come around too
 I've pulled the wool back and allowed myself to see
 I'm finding out what it's like to be myself and free
 Starting to see the world through a different set of eyes
 I'm feeling wide awake and finally living my own life
 We've become so different from who we used to be
 Don't waste your breath
 That just won't work for me
 I've already decided who I want to be
 Although I used to be like you
 I found the road to my own truth
 It's just a matter of time until you come around too
