Speak for Myself

[Verse 1] Do you see me? Do you care? You talk about me Like I'm not there Don't get a word in When you're around I bet you don't know What I'm about [Chorus] 'Cause I will, I will speak for myself What you see isn't all I am I need a place to stand I will, I will speak for myself There's so much you're missing If you cared, you'd listen [Verse 2] You suffocate me You drown me out I'm tired of waiting Without a doubt I feel I'm fadin' I flicker out My heart is screamin' Without a sound (Yeah) [Chorus] 'Cause I will, I will speak for myself What you see isn't all I am I need a place to stand I will, I will speak for myself There's so much you're missing If you cared, you'd listen [Bridge] I'm not sorry for who I am Take it or leave it It's my time to take a stand Throw it or keep it Know that I don't need to understand Won't say it again [Breakdown] (I will, I will, I will) You know I will [Chorus] 'Cause I will, I will speak for myself What you see isn't all I am I need a place to stand I will, you know I will (I will) speak for myself There's so much you're missing (So much you're missing) If you cared, you'd listen [Outro] If you cared, you'd listen I will, I will speak for myself
