Protect and Serve Lyrics

I'm on the edge of reason struggling just to coexist
I step inside myself 'cause no ones listening
Abandon hope so that a part of me can be forgotten
But now the years are gone, and I've done nothing wrong

So I'm not good enough to do the job you say you need
A broken record spins a message that we don't believe
A quiet gesture s the only thing you hear from me
'Cause you're saying the same thing

We say goodbye to our dreams today
There's nothing left you can take from me
Falling down, but I'll find my way
I don't deserve what you do to me

'Cause I won't play your game
Time can not undo
All the things that happened to me
All the friends that failed to get me out
Now you need me more than I need you
But I'm letting go

I know your tactics but I'll never be afraid again
Smart enough to turn around and walk away from them
We're in a fight because I know its one I'm gonna win
I'll get you back if it kills me

I'm finding promise in a talent that was lead astray
I'm standing up to say I'm not gonna take this
My eyes are open and tomorrow is a better day
I'll reach the top if it kills me

We say goodbye to our dreams today
There's nothing left you can take from me
Falling down, but I'll find my way
I don't deserve what you do to me

'Cause I won't play your game
Time can not undo
All the things that happened to me
All the friends that failed to get me out
Now you need me more than I need you
But I'm letting go

Now I'm letting go...

Now you need me more than I need you (x4)

'Cause I won't play your game
Time can not undo
All the things that happened to me
All the friends that failed to get me out
Now you need me more than I need you
But I'm letting go
