Close To Home - Don't Waste Your Breath lyrics

Despite your efforts and best attempts And all the stab wounds in our chest We find a way To keep our heads up high Through everything until the day we die Maybe you don't think I think for myself I hear you tell me one thing then see you do something else I've had enough prejudice against me So don't just a**ume I need to be told what to believe We've become so different from who we used to be Don't waste your breath That just won't work for me I've already decided who I want to be Although I used to be like you I found the road to my own truth It's just a matter of time until you come around too This fight is near; it's impending fate The swelling waves are going to break We're heading for disaster; it's the end There isn't much more that I can take We've become so different from who we used to be Don't waste your breath That just won't work for me I've already decided who I want to be Although I used to be like you I found the road to my own truth It's just a matter of time until you come around too I've pulled the wool back and allowed myself to see I'm finding out what it's like to be myself and free Starting to see the world through a different set of eyes I'm feeling wide awake and finally living my own life We've become so different from who we used to be Don't waste your breath That just won't work for me I've already decided who I want to be Although I used to be like you I found the road to my own truth It's just a matter of time until you come around too Ooh-whoa-oh Ooh-whoa Ooh-whoa-oh-ah-oh-oh Ooh-whoa-oh Ooh-whoa Ooh-whoa-oh-ah-oh-oh
