And when you tell me
That I remind you
Of somebody you don't like
That leaves me bleeding
From one more wound
You use your heel just like a spike
(instrumental chorus)
But when I get away
And you can't find me
I feel surprisingly free
Strong enough to walk
Clear enough to talk
Without you around I am me
You can bind me up and tell me "no"
You can lock me in and just say "so"
You can try to stop me seeing the light
But you can't hold me (back) if I go go go
And when you don't look up
And I'm on the stage
And you're acting like I'm just a pain
I can learn to play
For others only better
Who treat me like I'm not insane
