When I'm locked in my room
I just want to scream
Now I know what they mean
One more day of eating and sleeping
Speak to me
Speak to me
I'm not spoken for
I'm ready to talk
Look at me
Look at me
I've been broken up and shaken down
Speak to me
Speak to me
I'm at the edge of myself
I'm dying to talk
Look at me now
Won't you look at me
Back once more at the point of no return
When I'm locked in my room
I just want to scream
Now I know what they mean
Only the strong
Only the strong
Only the strong
Only the strong
The strong
The strong
Look at me now
Won't you look at me
Back once more at the point of no return
When I'm locked in my room
I just want to scream
And I know what they mean
Only the strong
Only the strong
Only the strong
Only the strong
Only the strong
Only the strong
