take what we're given

easy for you to say
how can you tear at my heart?
the walls are too thick to penetrate
won't you just accept this is the way i am?

striding on top of the world
the ice is thin and i dive in
bruises and beatings await
for the people that we've been

is it so hard to take what we're given?

there was never a time that we could talk openly
now you wonder why
i'm not who you always wanted me to be

ranting about the jokes
those you played on me and i played on you
well it's too for late for complements
i've already wasted three years of paranoid whos...

is it so hard to take what we're given?

nothing more to say
you go yours, i'll go my own way
it's just another face, another day
another face, another day...

is it so hard?
is it so hard?
is it so hard?
