Who says my time is up 
Who says my light is out 
Why do they hang around 
Why do I have to shout? 

My simple days they're slipping away 
And I'm stuck in here trying to get away 
From all the eyes that are looking at me 
And they're speaking in tongues 
And I don't know what they mean 
I don't know what they mean 

Why can't I just belong 
What did I do wrong 
Your words cut me like a knife 
Give me one so i can make it right 

And I'm wondering who said these things 
About you and me and won't you tell me please 
How can I believe when all they want to believe 
Are the lies that won't let me be free
