Speak For Myself Lyrics

Do you see me?
Do you care?
You talk about me
Like I'm not there
Don't get a word in
When you're around
I bet you don't know
What I'm about
'Cause I will, I will speak for myself
What you see isn't all I am
I need a place to stand
I will, I will speak for myself
There's so much you're missing
If you cared you'd listen
You suffocate me
You drown me out
I'm tired of waiting
Without a doubt

I feel I'm fading
I flicker out
My heart is screaming
Without a sound, yeah
'Cause I will, I will speak for myself
What you see isn't all I am
I need a place to stand
I will, I will speak for myself
There's so much you're missing
If you cared you'd listen
I'm not sorry for who I am
Take it or leave it
It's my time to take a stand
Throw it or keep it
Know that I don't need to understand
Won't say it again
(I will, I will, I will, I will)
You know I will
'Cause I will, I will speak for myself
What you see isn't all I am
I need a place to stand
I will, I will speak for myself
There's so much you're missing
If you cared you'd listen
If you cared you'd listen
I will, I will speak for myself
