I'm taking the time to listen
 Cuz I'm in need of a few answers
 And I find myself
 Staring at the floor
 So don't go pulling my arm
 I can learn on my own
 I'm just in need of a little direction
 And it would be nice to know that you aren't staring
 Over my shoulder
 I'm a vagrant with a helpless cause
 Against all odds
 I chase who I am
 So who are you

 I've got to make it on my own
 I'm just a mess without a home

 I swear to god I've never felt so alone
 But I guess that's part of the gamble
 This life has taken it's toll on me
 Can't you see it in my eyes
 Or hear it in my voice
 I never had a choice
 I'm just a victim of uncertainty
 I can hear my heart pounding
 And it's getting harder to breath
 I'm a vagrant with a helpless cause
 Against all odds
 I chase who I am
 So who are you

 I've got to make it on my own
 I'm just a mess without a home

 Oh I forgot to mention
 Don't you dare, pretend to know who my
 Cuz misguided judgments across the state
 Have about as much worth
 As your life and [bad word]  Comparable catastrophe
 [bad word] to mind

 Maybe I was meant for something more than this

 I've got to make it on my own
 I'm just a mess without a home

 I'm taking the time to listen
 Cuz I'm in need of a few answers

 Staring at the floor
 So don't go pulling my arm

 And it would be nice to know that you aren't staring
