Hollow Like Me - Corrupted Lives lyrics

You keep trying to get under our skin We'll dig you out with a scalpel Like the parasite you are We put our faith in too much So it's so fickle and so weak Hoping and searching For the will to move on Go ahead and tear us down With every word you speak It brings us up And up we won't back down From the likes of you You're the last thought Inside our minds Keep dreaming I won't be the one That falls this time Speak your mind Cause we sure as hell Will do the same f** you and everything That you stand for Don't pretend you can live our lives [Chorus:] Why do I let you build me up? When I know you'll just tear me down I should know by now That there is nothing Left to prove to you I've got a mind of my own A heart of my own To do with what I please Untangle your web of lies That's so clearly tying me down I've been told to be someone else To abandon my dreams And lose my mind All these years I've tried To find myself And finally know who I am (Tell me why) (I haven't felt this way before) (I can't help but feel) (Like you're in my way) (I never said you could stay) (When I wake I hope you're gone) There is no spell And no pill that can change you If they can't love you For who you are Then they don't deserve you So burn those bridges down Draw the flame [Chorus:] Why do I let you build me up? When I know you'll just tear me down I should know by now That there is nothing Left to prove to you I've got a mind of my own A heart of my own To do with what I please Untangle your web of lies That's so clearly tying me down
