Here comes another way
For them to break me down
Here comes another day
Another chance to wear the crown
Here comes another day
For them to break my walls
It's the only thing
Protecting what's left of my heart

But I'm not that different
I'm not so unjustified
Theres not much to compare
Between you and I

When will they see
When will they learn
Why don't they build
Instead of burn
Would they see me
If I was the last one standing there
Would they pass me by
Would they care
If they saw me

One more wish
For one more day
One more try
To find my way
I can get by
On my own
With just my bag
And a heart of stone

But I'm not that different
I'm not so unjustified
Theres not much to compare
Between you and I

When will they see
When will they learn
Why don't they build
Instead of burn
Would they see me
If I was the last one standing there
Would they pass me by
Would they care
If they saw me

They're so afraid
To see what I can be
Would they think differently
If they met the real me
Underneath this rough
And weary ***
There's a heart
That wants to learn to love

When will they see
When will they learn
Why don't they build
Instead of burn
Would they see me
If I was the last one standing there
Would they pass me by
Would they care
If they saw me
