Don't Waste Your Breath - Close To Home

Despite your efforts and best attempts

And all the stab wounds in our chest

We find a way

To keep our heads up high

Through everything until the day we die

Maybe you don’t think I think for myself

I hear you tell me one thing then see you do something else

I’ve had enough prejudice against me

So don’t just assume I need to be told what to believe

We’ve become so different from who we used to be

Don’t waste your breath

That just won’t work for me

I’ve already decided who I want to be

Although I used to be like you

I found the road to my own truth

It’s just a matter of time until you come around too

This fight is near;

it’s impending fate

The swelling waves are going to break

We’re heading for disaster;

it’s the end

There isn’t much more that I can take

We’ve become so different from who we used to be

Don’t waste your breath

That just won’t work for me

I’ve already decided who I want to be

Although I used to be like you

I found the road to my own truth

It’s just a matter of time until you come around too

I’ve pulled the wool back and allowed myself to see

I’m finding out what it’s like to be myself and free

Starting to see the world through a different set of eyes

I’m feeling wide awake and finally living my own life

We’ve become so different from who we used to be

Don’t waste your breath

That just won’t work for me

I’ve already decided who I want to be

Although I used to be like you

I found the road to my own truth

It’s just a matter of time until you come around too

Ooh-whoa-oh

Ooh-whoa

Ooh-whoa-oh-ah-oh-oh
