You don't seem to understand
That I got the upper hand
on the situation
which leads to agitation
Its so frustrating
to know that you're suffocating
In these lies
In this life
I need to take it back, take it back, it is mine

Im tired of living this way
I feel like my life is going down the drain
You may not see it when you look at me
there is more than meets the eye
Behind these lies
It is the real me

When the water flows in
The breaking down begins
which leads to humiliation
which causes exaggeration
Of your whole life story
Im tired of feeling sorry
With these lies
With this life
I need to take it back, take it back, it is mine

Im tired of living this way
Why cant you see that Im not ok
When the world is crumbling down on me
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to hide
No one to hold
Should I cry?
I gotta be strong
In this life
In these lies
Im takin it back, takin it back, it is mine
