You gave me reason to re-define myself.
You told me you'd be mine, while you're with someone else.
You'd give up anything for me to change my ways
Because I'm "stuck in yesterday".
Now you're asking me if I could feel the same.
If I would change for you, there's nothing I would say.
There's one thing I left I need to know:
Do you like the person I've become?
I cannot escape this
It's something I am made of.
I cannot escape this
It's something I am made of.
This is everything I'm ever going to be,
And I know you can't stand it (whoa-oh-oh)
You tried to change my mind
Because you want to bring me down (whoa-oh)
I know.
You and your friends are like that certain group of kids
No one likes going up and down the street.
They try to bring down every single kid they meet,
Just another helpless me.
I can't express how much I hate this anymore.
The way you treat me has me crying on the floor,
But I'll just walk away and never see your face.
Swallow that bitter taste.
I cannot escape this
It's something I am made of.
I cannot escape this
It's something I am made of.
This is everything I'm ever going to be,
And I know you can't stand it (whoa-oh-oh)
You tried to change my mind
Because you want to bring me down (whoa-oh)
I know.
You are everything, you're everything I don't
Want to be a part of (whoa-oh-oh)
I'll make sure that you never get the best of me (whoa-oh)
I won't.
I cannot escape this
It's something I am made of.
I cannot escape this
Can someone please explain it? (whoa-oh)
This is everything I'm ever going to be,
And I know you can't stand it (whoa-oh-oh)
You tried to change my mind
Because you want to bring me down (whoa-oh)
I know.
