lyrics

V1:

I toss and turn
In my bed
With a rosary by my side
And a hidden thought in my head
Guess I'll never learn
How to fit in
On either side of my life
The line I walk is thin

C1:

And you'll hate me for my contradictions
Everyone will hate me for my decisions

V2:

I question everything
Including you, yeah, you
Just let me have my peace
It's the best that I can do
Yeah, I don't make sense
But at least I try
To embrace this whole world through the
Tears that we cry

C2:

You'll debate me for my contradictions
They'll tell you to hate me and make a decision
But just take me as I am today
Went through so much to get here

C3:

You'll forsake me because you're confused
Because I'm indecisive and I'm not like you
And you'll hate me for my contradictions
You'll debate me for my decisions
