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
