You Say I

You say I don't speak the truth You say I don't care for you You say I don't know myself, like you do You say I am too afraid, To live by the words I say. That I am more ideas than action You say I talk too loud, That I'm hiding behind sound. That the thoughts I call my own are from without So what if it's true? So what if it's true? You called me ugly, I believed you. You made me feel like I was beneath you You broke me down till' I was nothing but air You say I can write my songs, I can sing them all night long. Till' my face turns blue, this Earth still burns You remind me of it's pain. Of my indifference, your heart shames How I can write my silly songs, and still look you in the eyes So What if they're true? So What if they're true? You called me ugly, I believed you. You made me feel like I was beneath you You broke me down till' I was nothing but air You called me empty, I believed you You made me crawl out from underneath you You broke me down till' I was nothing but air.
