lyrics

Hiding behind all the walls
It's safe to say I wouldn't know humanity if it called
Stuck inside the lion's den
And I've been eaten alive once or twice and I let it kill me then

Just when I see the light and I think I've found my way out
I'm crippled by your harsh words and overwhelming self-doubt

I guess you take what you get
And you love what you got
Or you give it right back
And pretend that it's not
What you deserve
They say, "love it or leave it"
Oh, baby, believe it
I wasted my time under all these impressions that
I live to serve
So if you've got the nerve
Well, I don't care what you heard
I can't be pushed over

Put me on the pedestal
Just to sit around, point and laugh, pretend you're in control
You can stab me in the back
I can't honestly say that I'm not used to something like that

Just when I see the light and I know I'm getting close
You try and put out my fire but you're at the end of your rope

I guess you take what you get
And you love what you got
Or you give it right back
And pretend that it's not
What you deserve
They say, "love it or leave it"
Oh, baby, believe it
I wasted my time under all these impressions that
I live to serve
So if you've got the nerve
Well, I don't care what you heard
I can't be pushed over

I guess you take what you get
And you love what you got
Or you give it right back
And pretend that it's not
What you deserve
They say, "love it or leave it"
Oh, baby, believe it
I wasted my time under all these impressions that
I live to serve
So if you've got the nerve
Well, I don't care what you heard
I can't be pushed over
