Lyrics

Here I am in your face, telling truths and not your old lies Seems to me that you care and I know that you're running out of time See you can't get away, I'll be here forever and again Whispering in your ear, do believe 'cause you know you cannot win Spent most your life pretending not to be The one you are but who you choose to see Learned to survive in your fictitious world Does what they think of you determine your worth? If special's what you feel when you're with them Taken away you feel less than again That's right, you gotta mean what you say, you gotta say what you mean Trying to please everyone, sacrifice your own needs Check in the mirror my friend, no lies will be told then Pointing the finger again, you can't blame nobody but you You gotta mean what you say, you gotta say what you mean Trying to please everyone, sacrifice your own needs Check in the mirror my friend, no lies will be told then Pointing the finger again, you can't blame nobody but you There's a feeling inside, no, you cannot change it right away Gotta make a try and with time it will start to go away I'll be there when you need that one to sit and cry to 'Cause I'm the you you forgot, the only one you know you cannot lie to Bitter you'll be if you don't change your ways When you hate you you hate everyone that day Unleash this scared child that you've grown into You cannot run for you can't hide from you, can't hide from you That's right, you gotta mean what you say, you gotta say what you mean Trying to please everyone, sacrifice your own needs Check in the mirror my friend, no lies will be told then Pointing the finger again, you can't blame nobody but you You gotta mean what you say, you gotta say what you mean Trying to please everyone, sacrifice your own needs Check in the mirror my friend, no lies will be told then Pointing the finger again, you can't blame nobody but you You gotta mean what you say, you gotta say what you mean Trying to please everyone, sacrifice your own needs Check in the mirror my friend, no lies will be told then Pointing the finger again, you can't blame nobody but you E-C-N-E-I-C-S-N-O-C You can't blame nobody but you E-C-N-E-I-C-S-N-O-C You can't blame nobody but you E-C-N-E-I-C-S-N-O-C You can't blame nobody E-C-N-E-I-C-S-N-O-C Oh that's right You gotta mean what you say, you gotta say what you mean Trying to please everyone, sacrifice your own needs Check in the mirror my friend, no lies will be told then Pointing the finger again, you can't blame nobody but you You gotta mean what you say, you gotta say what you mean Trying to please everyone, sacrifice your own needs Check in the mirror my friend, no lies will be told then Pointing the finger again, you can't blame nobody but you You can't blame nobody but you You can't blame nobody but you You gotta mean what you say, you gotta say what you mean Trying to please everyone, sacrifice your own needs Check in the mirror my friend, no lies will be told then Pointing the finger again, you can't blame nobody but you
