A life on the edge
The laughter of the people as soundtrack was more (that) I could stand
That’s how you met me, a girl dressed in black
With a sorrowful story to tell

You told me how to act
you told me how to talk
You told me the way how to make people love me

A puppet in your hands, as I swallow my pride
But my voice’s burning in my throat
And I must tell you

“I’m not what you want me to be
And I won’t be what you force me to be”

So hear me out, hear me out
You gotta hear my shout
Hear me out, hear me out
I won’t let you bring me down
Hear me out, hear me out
You’ll watch me take the door
So hear me out, hear me out
You can’t control me anymore

Remember those days
Remember the tears that I shed and the hatred I felt
I can’t live like that
I simply don’t care, you must like me the way that I am!

“I’m not what you want me to be
And I won’t be what you force me to be”

So hear me out, hear me out
You gotta hear my shout
Hear me out, hear me out
I won’t let you bring me down
Hear me out, hear me out
You’ll watch me take the door
So hear me out, hear me out
You can’t control me anymore
