Verse 1Am I nevertheless just a mannequinan unreal image of hope for brighter daysI've been bent out shapeI've been supported by a false rhyme paying me part timeCause you're a lot like meYou don't strike me as false and violent inside
ChorusCause you're a lot like meYou're fierce, you fight meBut hell I'd give a lot to be youDear god when this storm is overWe'll see how many lies end up true
Verse2Can I exit this room?Oh, you've got me all the nice thingsAnd we'll see what that bringsIf that's bad, then here's lesson oneI know it's hard to say youhate me, but I know its true
Chorus
Verse3Exhale slide down your spineYour body's all but mine, and don't youfeel like "hell, I'm alive"?That's why you're a lot like meYou're poison ivyDoing what I do, but that's not why I'm fightingThere's one more thing on my mindMy minds not really mine butI don't mind being left behindStill a persistant fighterProvoke the fireStruggling more justto get a little higher
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
BridgeCause you're a lot like me,you're fierce you fight meso promise me I'll get another chanceI'd forgive youIf you knew what I knewSomething so sweetly wrapped up in the endI'd forgive youIf you knew what I knewSomething so sweetly wrapped up in the end
