People say so many things about me I think: Yeah, their opinion will never define me! I skipped the class on how to play the saint I was living intensely, I didn't even notice They think I should mold myself To fit into a chaotic society But who are they? Who are they? They're closer than you think They're experts at judging That friend who says she's always there to help But disappears when you need her most Or that love I thought was my match But in the blink of an eye decided to replace me? There's always someone close who even has an altar A hypocritical saint who loves to judge Ah, believe me, I've seen it all in this life And my head throbs, a pain that won't ease Patched up inside, drawing hearts And I remain firm, masking the bruises Look, my destiny is to keep my faith I don't care about those who talk and never see what it is To them I'm just a reflection in a mirror What I see is real My heart is red! I've fallen, I've risen, a scar on my chest I live without filters, truth is my way They talk behind my back, but see me up front As I take a step, they become absent They become absent This life is a stage, I don't follow a script Those who think they know a lot, don't see the whole picture I am more than the story they invented I am more than the stones they've thrown at me I live without a draft, I get up and face whatever comes I throw myself in headfirst, I go with whatever I have Life is a fight, and I continue on my mission With a shielded soul and verse in action I've fallen, I've risen, a scar on my chest I live without filters, truth is my way They talk behind my back, but see me up front As I take a step, they become absent They become absent
