I've been beaten
I've been bruised
Been everything you've used
"But you can't lead someone where you've never been"
Keep telling me that I've never been
Just listen to the words I speak
Bury me in your stories
Watch me love them day after day
Don't mind me as I worry
I'll sit here and tear away
I've been beaten
Been bruised
Been everything you've used
I'd kill just to see you live
I'd break just to fix what you've broke
Throw me away
Like you always do
I've been beaten
Been bruised
But you still have no clue
You are the perfect f*cking example of ignorance
Give it up
Give it up
Your life is right in front of you
Just open your eyes to see it clearly
It walks with you
Day by day
Give it up
Give it up
Your life is right in front of you
Give it up cause you could lose it all
Truth is I'd rather die than watch you fall
See the light that you have turned your back to
Here stands the beaten and bruised the loyal and used
Still you can't see what you need is what you've abused
What you need
Is what you've abused
Give it up
Your life is right in front of you
What you need
Is what you've abused
Give it up
Your life's in front of you
Give it up
Give it up
Your life is right in front of you
Just open your eyes to see it clearly
It walks with you
Day by day
Give it up
Give it up
Your life is right in front of you
Bury me in your stories
Watch me love them day after day
Don't mind me as I worry
I'll sit here and tear away
