 I want to scream,  until no sound  comes out and you've learned your lesson
 I want to swallow  these pills to get to sleep
  So I don't have  to make a bad impression
 I need to start  to be myself
  Cause I'm sick  of everybody else
I  won't let you bring  me down
 It's here  and now I'm breaking out
I  will learn to love  again
 But I  will stand a broken man
 I wanna run,  but only far  enough to make you miss me
 I wanna take  back all the shit  that I have done
 But I guess you  were better off  without me
 I need to start  to be myself
  Cause I'm sick  of everybody else
I  won't let you bring  me down
 It's here  and now I'm breaking out
I  will learn to love  again
 But I  will stand a broken man
 x3
 I took one  big step and I looked away
 And then I thought  of all the things that I wanted to say
 I'm always too  late, you never got your story straight
 I'm always up  late, I think I'm everything you hate
I  won't let you bring  me down
 It's here  and now I'm breaking out
I  will learn to love  again
 But I  will stand a broken man
I  won't let you bring  me down
 It's here  and now I'm breaking  out
I  will learn to love  again
 But I  will stand a broken man
 (the bridge is repeating in the background,
 that's why it's using those chords.)
