CHORUS:

Everybody keeps tryin' 2 break my heart

Everybody except 4 me

I just want a chance 2 play the part

The part of someone truly free



Like candle slowly burning, I can feel my world unravel

Hemisphere upon hemisphere lie beneath my soul, soul

My enemies kept it turning, but now they pound the gavel

And judging me accordingly, I know, I know



CHORUS



Hey! {x3}

Oh



Burning slowly candle, handle careless they did

Merrily down 3 heartbreak boulevards

Like fashion statements, they lie "U be lookin' so good 2night, kid"

I do my best 2 party, it's just that everybody keeps tryin' 2 break my

heart



(CHORUS)

Except 4 me (Except 4 me)

I just want a chance 2 play



(Just wanna be free)



Slowly candle burns, where'd they learn hypnosis?

How'd they keep me under 4 so long?

Break the bread I earn, just keep me far from closest

I need their kind 2 illustrate what's wrong - what's wrong?



Well, I'll tell U they just keep tryin' 2 break my heart (CHORUS)

They just keep tryin' 2 break my heart, ow!



(Everybody) {x2}



CHORUS



But I can't let U break my heart



(Everybody keeps tryin' 2 break my heart)

Slave! (Everybody keeps tryin' 2 break my heart)

Slave! Slave! (Everybody keeps tryin' 2 break my heart)

Slave!
