Take a chance in this life
A little romance
Break me down, pick me up
Come on slow dance

What did I do to deserve all you've taken from me
You're a timebomb and now you're tickin away
Tick, tick, tick, kaboom
There you go now
Used me as a tool
You better slow down
Talkin' behind my back ' that's right
Left me like a used rag ' not nice

Cut my wings I'll go down, that's how your expectations feel now
When you put me in a cage with my face on the page of your blacklist of no good

Everybody has to go through this life
Everybody has to go past that line
We all leave our little mark on society
I make music, you point your fingers at me
Ain't it funny how you thought I was the devil
Running free, lookin like a rebel
Well if you've got a balk in your eye
How can you see the mote in mine
