I've been trying my best,
To get the weight I carry off my chest,
But every song comes out a mess,
Nothing else to show but my best educated guess,

Give, give me the words,
Give, give me the words,
Give, give me the words,
Give me the words to sing,
Give me the melody
Give me the keys to the kingdom please,

I've spent too much time,
Singing someone else's song,
Thinking someone else's thoughts,

All I want,
All I want,
All I want's,
A single shred of beauty,
That just belongs to me,
Not just another page torn out of someone else's diary,

If I'm just a name,
Then all those years I used to call myself a saint,
Don't matter anyway,
All those years spent chasing some fake friend called fame,

Give, give me the words,
Give, give me the words,
Give, give me the words,
Give me the words to sing,
Give me the melody
Give me the keys to the kingdom please,

I've spent too much time,
Singing someone else's song,
Thinking someone else's thoughts,

All I want,
All I want,
All I want's,
A single shred of beauty,
That just belongs to me,
Not just another page torn out of someone else's diary,
