Lyrics
Slammed my face against the wall
A hundred times it seems today
Is my life worth anything at all
Carry me so far from here
?cause my legs no longer bend
Refusing to idle while you drive the fear
I know about you & you won?t stop -- no you won?t stop
I know about you & you won?t stop -- no you won?t stop
Everything about me says I shouldn?t give in but you won?t?stop
If this is my life story tell me how does it end
Do I see the color red
Or are my eyes a shade of blue
Is my emotion captivating all of you
Damn straight I?m told to walk the line I?m on
Is anybody ever gonna listen to me
?before I?m gone
I know about you & you won?t stop -- no you won?t stop
I know about you & you won?t stop -- no you won?t stop
Everything about me says I shouldn?t give in but you won?t?stop
If this is my life story tell me how does it end
There?s a picture of me and you when I was young
What happened to the joy in that little boy?s eyes
Where?s all the fun
(ya know) Families cry together and try together
But still I wait for the day when I hear you cry
Oh ? how I?ll try
I know about you & you won?t stop -- no you won?t stop
I know about you & you won?t stop -- no you won?t stop
Everything about you says I shouldn?t give in but you won?t?stop
If this is my life story tell me how does it end
