Worth (Keep Me Blind)

Save your breath, 'cause I'm not gonna be what you want me to be

This may not make sense to somebody

Who can't see past their own arrogance

Life is not a game that you can play with no consequence

You're playing with this fire like you've done nothing wrong

Won't be the first to burn you or the last

To hurt you, but it must be their fault

Now how much longer will you cut me and break me

And act like I can't see

Through the chains you gave me

For a world they made me

Tie myself down to the chair that keeps me here

Sitting, waiting, hoping and praying

That you won't let me drown

Been pulled from the water and sinking no longer

If you had it your way

You'd find some way to keep me blind

No, I am not your slave

I'm hanging by your every word, you drag me down to find my worth

No, I will never be what you want me to be

I was all you ever needed, I wish you would

I wish you could see it

I have lost my mind trying to turn wrongs to right

Convince me I'm the one to blame for all that has been done

A voice behind the curtain, shrouded and uncertain

Your chariot mirror and now it's coming clearer

Is it everything that's missing in yourself?

What you cannot have, what you cannot

Be, what will never make you whole

If you had it your way

You'd find some way to keep me blind

No, I am not your slave

I'm hanging by your every word, you drag me down to find my worth

No, I will never be what you want me to be

I was all you ever needed, I wish you would

I wish you could see it

You had your chance to change the tides

But it was your choice, now pay the price
