Vs 1/ She’s got this picture in her head,
Of leaving,
Feels like there’s nothing left
And no good reason,
How could he hit her?
She wasn’t born a quitter,
And she, never deserved,
To be treated like that /
She leaves a letter,
And she leaves his place,
Still feelin’ all the bruises,
On her face,
She only wanted,
To feel like she was wanted,
And that all changed when he,
Broke that bottle/
Pre Ch/ And she said…
You might have got the best of me,
But you’ll never get the rest of me/
Chorus/ I’m not afraid to be who I am,
‘Cause nobody told me,
That I couldn’t be that,
I wanna scream it,
Like it’s never been said,
And mean it like a black tattoo/
I don’t wanna care,
About what everyone says,
I don’t wanna live inside,
A past that’s dead,
I wanna touch down,
Where miracles live,
And show it like a black tattoo/
Vs 2/ She grabs the keys,
And she drives on down the road,
Her thoughts are flashing through,
Her mind like Vertigo,
But she knows if she stops,
That she’ll just go back,
Her mother told her she was,
Smarter than that/
Whatever happened to the world?
When did she stop dreaming?
No matter what,
She never stopped believing/
She said I want to live a life filled,
With meaning,
And I don’t want any-thing else/
Pre Ch/ And she said…
You might have got the best of me,
But you’ll never get the rest of me/
Chorus/ I’m not afraid to be who I am,
‘Cause nobody told me,
That I couldn’t be that,
I wanna scream it,
Like it’s never been said,
And mean it like a black tattoo/
I don’t wanna care,
About what everyone says,
I don’t wanna live inside,
A past that’s dead,
I wanna touch down,
Where miracles live,
And show it like a black tattoo/
