Lyrics
Don't Waste Your Breath
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Despite your efforts and best attempts
And all the stab wounds in our chest
We find a way
To keep our heads up high
Through everything until the day we die
Maybe you don't think I think for myself
I hear you tell me one thing then see you do something else
I've had enough prejudice against me
So don't just assume I need to be told what to believe
We've become so different from who we used to be
Don't waste your breath
That just won't work for me
I've already decided who I want to be
Although I used to be like you
I found the road to my own truth
It's just a matter of time until you come around too
This fight is near; it's impending fate
The swelling waves are going to break
We're heading for disaster; it's the end
There isn't much more that I can take
We've become so different from who we used to be
Don't waste your breath
That just won't work for me
I've already decided who I want to be
Although I used to be like you
I found the road to my own truth
It's just a matter of time until you come around too
I've pulled the wool back and allowed myself to see
I'm finding out what it's like to be myself and free
Starting to see the world through a different set of eyes
I'm feeling wide awake and finally living my own life
We've become so different from who we used to be
Don't waste your breath
That just won't work for me
I've already decided who I want to be
Although I used to be like you
I found the road to my own truth
It's just a matter of time until you come around too
Ooh-whoa-oh
Ooh-whoa
Ooh-whoa-oh-ah-oh-oh
