Fuck!

♪ Haven't always been this way ♪

♪ I wasn't born a renegade ♪

♪ I felt alone, still feel afraid ♪

♪ I stumble through it anyway ♪

♪ I wish someone would have told me ♪

♪ That this life is ours to choose ♪

♪ No one's handing you the keys or a book with all the rules ♪

♪ The little that I know I'll tell to you ♪

♪ When they dress you up in lies ♪

♪ And you're left naked with the truth ♪

♪ You throw your head back, and you spit in the wind ♪

♪ Let the walls crack, 'cause it lets the light in ♪

♪ Let 'em drag you through hell ♪

♪ They can't tell you to change who you are ♪

♪ That's all I know so far ♪

♪ And when the storm's out, you run in the rain ♪

♪ Put your sword down, dive right into the pain ♪

♪ Stay unfiltered and loud ♪

♪ You'll be proud of that skin full of scars ♪

♪ That's all I know so far ♪

♪ That's all I know so far ♪

♪ You might give yourself away, yeah ♪

♪ And pay full price for each mistake ♪

♪ But when the candy-coating hides the razor blade ♪

♪ You can cut yourself loose and use that rage ♪

♪ I wish someone would have told me ♪

♪ That this darkness comes and goes ♪

♪ People will pretend but baby girl, nobody knows ♪

♪ And even I can't teach you how to fly ♪

♪ But I can show you how to live ♪

♪ Like your life is on the line ♪

♪ You throw your head back, and you spit in the wind ♪

♪ Let the walls crack, 'cause it lets the light in ♪

♪ Let 'em drag you through hell ♪

♪ They can't tell you to change who you are ♪

♪ That's all I know so far ♪

♪ That's all I know, that's all I know so far ♪

♪ That's all I know, that's all I know so far ♪

♪ That's all I know, that's all I know so far ♪

♪ That's all I know, that's all I know so far ♪
