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 down in 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

 {guitar solo}

 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...
