I feel its time to tell you,
The way I feel about you,
You like to think you know me,

But your past it tries to warm me,

To be cautious of the words you speak,

I'm not the boy that your eyes see,
You've taken every piece of me,
Left me broken lost at sea.


These things take time,
Iv'e wasted all of mine.


But I won't let you define me,
The shell of who I used to be,

No I won't let you define me,
Or let you bring me to my knees.


You act as if you like me,
But your stares they pass right through me,
Now i've learned to tell the difference,

i'll fight to keep my distance,

Of these games you play inside my head,

And twist around the things you said,
I'll try my best to hide my hate,
I'm done with this $#&@ed up place.


These things take time,
Iv'e wasted all of mine.


But I won't let you define me,
The shell of who I used to be,

No I won't let you define me,
Or let you bring me to my knees.


Your past doesn't define you, it;s the things you do to get you through,
The sleepless nights and long days, that stand to you.
No your past doesn't define you, its the things you do to get to yourself,

To where you want to be, that make you.

But I won't let you define me,

The shell of who I used to be,
No I won't let you define me,
Or let you bring me to my knees.
