John Rzeznik’s I’m Not Here
I am a question to the world
Not an answer to be heard
Or a moment, that’s held in your arms
And what, do ya think you’d ever say?
I won’t listen anyway
You don’t know me
And I’ll never be what you want me to be
And what, do you think you’d understand?
I’m a boy, no, I’m a man
You can’t take me, and throw me away
And how, can you learn what’s never shown?
Yeah you stand here on your own
They don’t know me, cause I’m not here
And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don’t feel
Wanna hold on, and feel I belong
And how, can the world want me to change?
They’re the ones that stay the same
They don’t know me, cause I’m not here
And you, see the things they never see
All you wanted, I could be
Now you know me, and I’m not afraid
And I, wanna tell you who I am
Can you help you be a man?
They can’t break me
As long as I know who I am
And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don’t feel
Wanna hold on, and feel I belong
And how, can the world want me to change?
They’re the ones that stay the same
They can’t see me, but I’m still here
They can’t tell me who to be
Cuz I’m not what they see
Yeah the world is still sleeping
While I keep on dreaming, for me
And their words are just whispers and lies
That I’ll never believe
And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don’t feel
Wanna hold on, and feel I belong
And how, can they say I’ll never change?
They’re the ones that stay the same
I’m the one now, cause I’m still here
I’m the one, cause I’m still here
I’m still here
I’m still here
I’m still here
