My self respect has died
You got me in a bind
I'll never be confined
[Chorus]
You make me
And maybe it's draining
[Bridge]
OK, you want it all the same
I will not be that way
I'll take it day by day [Repeat x2]
[Verse 2]
Fill me with your lies
A product of these times
I'll leave it all behind
I'll hunt from deep inside
[Chorus]
[Bridge: x2]
