Close To Home Don't Waste Your Breath Lyrics

Despite your efforts and best attempts
And all the stab wounds in our chest
We find a way
To keep our heads up high
Through everything until the day we die

Maybe you don't think I think for myself
I hear you tell me one thing then see you do something
else
I've had enough prejudice against me
So don't just assume I need to be told what to believe

We've become so different from who we used to be

Don't waste your breath
That just won't work for me
I've already decided who I want to be
Although I used to be like you
I found the road to my own truth
It's just a matter of time until you come around too

This fight is near; it's impending fate
The swelling waves are going to break
We're heading for disaster; it's the end
There isn't much more that I can take

We've become so different from who we used to be Don't waste your breath
That just won't work for me
I've already decided who I want to be
Although I used to be like you
I found the road to my own truth
It's just a matter of time until you come around too

I've pulled the wool back and allowed myself to see
I'm finding out what it's like to be myself and free
Starting to see the world through a different set of
eyes
I'm feeling wide awake and finally living my own life

We've become so different from who we used to be

Don't waste your breath
That just won't work for me
I've already decided who I want to be
Although I used to be like you
I found the road to my own truth
It's just a matter of time until you come around too

Ooh-whoa-oh
Ooh-whoa
Ooh-whoa-oh-ah-oh-oh

Ooh-whoa-oh
Ooh-whoa
Ooh-whoa-oh-ah-oh-oh
