You never really understood me
You always put me down
Like a dog that's beaten over and over
One day I'm gonna take you down

This is who I am
Not a shadow of who I want to be
Try to understand
That this is what you made me
And you're not ever gonna change me

You underestimate my sorrow
How the wreckage of my life
I tried so many times to tell you
The silence deafened both of us
(No excuses)

This is who I am
Not a shadow of who I want to be
Try to understand
That this is what you made me
And you're not ever gonna change me

You have made me
You can't change me
You don't know me
This is who I am

You have made me
You can't change me
You don't know me
This is who I am

This is who I am
Not a shadow of who I want to be
Try to understand
That this is what you made me
And you're not ever gonna change me

You have made me
You can't change me
You don't know me
This is who I am

You have made me
You can't change me
You don't know me
This is who I am

You have made me
You can't change me
You don't know me
This is who I am
