In the quiet of my room
I gather up my thoughts and questions
Could I ever be like you?
Could I ever be a person, so real and so true?
It seems implausible
I look at my reflection
If only I could say
The things I never mention
The things you never knew
And Id like to thank you for the human Ive become
Im sorry if Ive let you down
Im trying, Im learning as I stumble along
To see this new world without your eyes
Once upon a time there was a girl who so much loved the world
She gave her only begotten sunshine
And dried her stained eyes on a neck tie
Took the best lies made em truths
And spit sad soliloquies in the booth
Cause people think they know but they barely knew
The reality of what the other-siders do
But Ive been there, Ive learned that
Seen a whole bunch of world and done came back
Got a reckoning for wrecking in my knapsack
Bout to journey on foot through the outback
GRRRL PRTY is the label on my snapback
Doin worldwide shows in a black hat
Bout to tell your ass a story so take that
Free prophecies from a black cat
Seen his demise with a pair of brand new eyes
It was sickening, guy
Never wanted to be stickin it to thickening thighs
But now he deeper than the secrets that he keep with a lie
Mm, tastes good! baby say with a cry
Now wait
Thinkin about it too much, too much
Deepen the profit sooner, sooner
He never wanted to be a loser
But the bruises of losing is oozing through his fingers
The tips that like to brush at my hips
Is now at the hilt of a sword, Lord
On the battlefield, torn, sworn
To never think about another lover
Hopin he had time to recover but nothings ever easy
Beware the sting of queen bee (Grr!)
And Id like to thank you for the human Ive become
Im sorry if Ive let you down
Im trying, Im learning as I stumble along
To see this new world without your eyes
So many things in he I would like to be
Wiser, more light on my feet
I could look up in the mirror and change me
Or right over my shoulder and save me
Thinkin about back, back when, when I aint have nothing
Not a thing or a ring to my name
Now my feet in the game, knee deep, dont speak
Feelin like Gwen Stefani in this thing
But I cant complain cause we asked for this
Feelin like a workaholic or a masochist
Dont call like I should like its sacrilege
To make a dollar in a dream into packed venues
Take a second, put your shield down
Laying down my sword, getting off the battlefield now
Makin bigger moves, bigger pictures in my view now
Get up out of my way Ive got ammo for days, pow!
I can feel the weight of wars youve lost
Theyre victories in my eyes
Every swing you take brings me closer and closer
Open the gates and Im poised to charge
You told me wed never get this far
Now we at the final round
Theres no way well escape battle scars
Battle scars
And Id like to thank you for the human Ive become
Im sorry if Ive let you down
Im trying, Im learning as I stumble along
To see this new world without your eyes
