Lyrics
What do you think of me
Walking around with my memories again
And what do you think of me now
My head's in the air but my feet are on solid ground
Ignore this smile on my face
It keeps me warm but keeps me from grace
Holds me down
Ignore this smile on my face
It keeps me warm but keeps me from grace
Holds me down
Why do you think I'm dirt
It's not a question for you it's what I deserve
I'm making the most of this earth
But banging my head against it for all I'm worth
Ignore this smile on my face
It keeps me warm but keeps me from grace
Holds me down
