[Verse 1] You say you want the truth, but you can't take it So I give you lies I give you lies You say you want the best, but you destroy it So I keep it inside I keep it inside [Pre-Chorus] I'll tell ya something It's a double-edged sword you're givin' And I can't see the truth in livin' When we hide behind a wall of fear And you don't see it It's a twisted dream you believe in And what's the use in pretendin'? Let's make the smoke and mirrors disappear [Chorus] So there, I said it And I won't apologize to you anymore 'Cause I'm a grown ass man And I won't live again And I'm sick and tired of livin' in your shadow So there, I said it No, I won't apologize to you anymore 'Cause I'm a grown ass man And I don't understand Why I should be livin' in the shadows So there, I said it [Verse 2] You wanna hear my voice, my mind, my demons But not too much Or you'll give up [Pre-Chorus] I'll tell ya something It's a double-edged sword you're givin' And I can't see the truth in livin' When we hide behind a wall of fear And you don't see it It's a twisted dream you believe in And what's the use in pretendin'? Let's make the smoke and mirrors disappear [Chorus] So there, I said it And I won't apologize to you anymore 'Cause I'm a grown ass man And I won't live again And I'm sick and tired of livin' in your shadow So there, I said it No, I won't apologize to you anymore 'Cause I'm a grown ass man And I don't understand Why I should be livin' in the shadows So there, I said it
