Thumb - Break My Back lyrics

they wanted to break my back, wanted to hold me back from beeing free. they had a part for me in society, but that wasn't me. they gave me an early start, when they broke my heart i needed to see. that if i wanted to be myself i couldn't be myself without me! so here i am! i stepped out! to be free! 'cause with all that's left inside of me, with my back against the wall. i can still decide what's best for me, i can still say all i want. "now that i'm free!" i needed to learn the truth, i had to find my own destiny. ev'rybody would pa** me by, i couldn't pacify the urge in me! cause i was given wings to fly, that i was meant to try can't you see. that if i wanted to be myself i couldn't be myself without me! so here i am! i stepped out! to be free! 'cause with all that's left inside of me, with my back against the wall. i can still decide what's best for me, i can still stay in control. now that i'm free! you didn't think that i would try... you never knew what's on my mind... you didn't think i'd really try to be more than this!? i had to live in agony... i knew you're looking down on me... but i always knew that i would be so much more than this! 'cause with all that's left inside of me, with my back against the wall. i can still decide what's best for me, i can still say all i want! "now that i'm free!"
