Am I nevertheless just a mannequin An unreal image of hope for brighter days I've been bent out shape I've been supported by a false rhyme paying me part time 'Cause you're a lot like me You don't strike me as false and violent inside 'Cause you're a lot like me You're fierce, you fight me But hell I'd give a lot to be you Dear god when this storm is over We'll see how many lies end up true Can I exit this room? Oh, you've got me all the nice things And we'll see what that brings If that's bad, then here's lesson one I know it's hard to say you Hate me, but I know its true 'Cause you're a lot like me You don't strike me as false and violent inside 'Cause you're a lot like me You're fierce, you fight me But hell I'd give a lot to be you Dear god when this storm is over We'll see how many lies end up true Exhale, slide down your spine Your body's all but mine And don't you feel like "hell, I'm alive"? That's why you're a lot like me You're poison ivy Doing what I do, but that's not why I'm fighting There's one more thing on my mind My minds not really mine But I don't mind being left behind Still a persistent fighter Provoke the fire Struggling more just to get a little higher 'Cause you're a lot like me You don't strike me as false and violent inside 'Cause you're a lot like me You're fierce, you fight me But hell I'd give a lot to be you Dear god when this storm is over We'll see how many lies end up true 'Cause you're a lot like me, You're fierce, you fight me So promise me I'll get another chance I'd forgive you If you knew what I knew Something so sweetly wrapped up in the end I'd forgive you If you knew what I knew Something so sweetly wrapped up in the end
