I don't want money or a thing For what I was and what I am and what I'll ever be I don't need to be overground I don't need to give away my life or make a sound All I ever wanted was the thing I couldn't find Oh I tried to get away - run away, far away Something kept me in my place - so I stayed and remained I don't wanna make a judgment call Take a stand or make demands or try to please you all All I wanted was the truth and that I couldn't find Oh I tried to get away - run away, far away But my shadow followed me - every place, kept my pace Well I don't belong anyway Well I missed my call - what a shame I don't want much of anything Everything I got I earned through pain and suffering I don't want you numberin' my days
I don't want you trying to immortalize my name All I ever wanted was a little peace of mind In all eyes ugliness was my face - a disgrace Recognized lowly mess in my place - what a waste Well I don't belong anyway Well I missed my call - what a shame And what I have you can't touch or see All I have I got from God and that's all I need All I ever really wanted was to stay inside Well I tried to believe I was freed - in the lead Yeah, I thought I could succeed - but it's not my need Something there was in my way so I stayed - stood in place Where forever I'll remain - it was not my way Not my way Not my way Oh I tried to get away - run away, far away All I wanted was a feeling like I'm warm inside
