Sitting' at a table Thanksgiving day when you were three,
Your father hit you in the mouth and you started to bleed
You were punished 'cause you weren't really hungry!
Ten years old and you're making everyone ashame,
'Cause you'd rather play guitar than be the star in the game
I don't want to be a nobody
I put my head in the sand 'cause I don't want to face it,
Lonely know without you
You still don't understand why it's myself I been hurting,
For you, I never measured up to you
Oh Lord, set me free!
It ain't over now
Hurtin' myself 'cause you ain't here to do it
Still ain't over now
Hurt me so badly inside
It ain't over now
Hurtin' myself 'cause you ain't here to do it
Still ain't over now
Hurt me so badly inside
Oh Lord, set me free!
Stare in the mirror, take a long hard look at myself
The reflection paints a picture of somebody else
Should I really feel ashamed just to see it?
Judgement was something you had taught me to believe
You tried to make me be somebody that I couldn't be
Should I really feel ashamed just to be it?
I put my head in the sand 'cause I don't want to face it
Lonely now without you
You still don't understand it's myself I been hating
You, I never measured up to
You! Go Away! Away
