lyrics
I seem so ordinary, I seem so ordinary I am a star, traveled so far
Someday you'll get to know me, 'til then be sure you're worthy
I am too kind, shelter your mind
Why can't you be more trusting, why don't you just become aware and share
I'm not too blind to realize this is not easy for you
Circles linked forming bands of steel that dig in to your mind and hold you down
I know you're trying to hurt me, I know you're trying to hurt me
cast your stones, break my bones
You wish to be somebody 'cause you don't like who you are
What a shame, who is to blame?
Why don't you like who you are, why won't your old wounds go away and stay?
I'm not just here to stop you, to bash or worse to judge you
Circles linked forming bands of steel that dig in to your mind and hold you down
Please remind me to tell the stories of all the lessons I've learn
Won't you listen, try not to fall in, and make the wrong turns we made
In time I think you'll realize in youth your time is here and now so play
but when it's time to grow up don't dump what youth has taught you
Circles linked forming bands of steel that dig in to your mind and hold you down, no
SOLO
Why can't you be more trusting
Why don't you just become aware and share
Why don't you like who you are,
why won't your old wounds go away and stay
In time I think you'll realize in youth your time is here and now so play
I'm not just here to stop you, to bash or worse to judge you
Circles linked forming bands of steel that dig in to your mind and hold you down
Circles linked forming bands of steel that dig in to your mind and hold you down
Yeah, Break these chains, these chains, these chains, these chains
Someday you'll get to know me, 'til then be sure you're worthy
I am too kind, shelter your mind
Why can't you be more trusting, why don't you just become aware and share
I'm not too blind to realize this is not easy for you
Circles linked forming bands of steel that dig in to your mind and hold you down
I know you're trying to hurt me, I know you're trying to hurt me
cast your stones, break my bones
You wish to be somebody 'cause you don't like who you are
What a shame, who is to blame?
Why don't you like who you are, why won't your old wounds go away and stay?
I'm not just here to stop you, to bash or worse to judge you
Circles linked forming bands of steel that dig in to your mind and hold you down
Please remind me to tell the stories of all the lessons I've learn
Won't you listen, try not to fall in, and make the wrong turns we made
In time I think you'll realize in youth your time is here and now so play
but when it's time to grow up don't dump what youth has taught you
Circles linked forming bands of steel that dig in to your mind and hold you down, no
SOLO
Why can't you be more trusting
Why don't you just become aware and share
Why don't you like who you are,
why won't your old wounds go away and stay
In time I think you'll realize in youth your time is here and now so play
I'm not just here to stop you, to bash or worse to judge you
Circles linked forming bands of steel that dig in to your mind and hold you down
Circles linked forming bands of steel that dig in to your mind and hold you down
Yeah, Break these chains, these chains, these chains, these chains
