You've Been - Beau Williams

Where's the pain in the violent night? I'm depressed by the grin I stay over many years I should have thought of that For the love of the money Like a black-hearted violin It's the nature of being It's too many lonely nights I can't tell bad from wrong I can't pass you by Two exchanging You've been around But you've changed me Where the flesh meets the spirit world Where the traffic is thin I slip from a vacant view I should have thought of that And the sound of tomorrow Like a black-hearted vile thing Like the silence of tension It's too many lonely nights I can't tell good from bad I can't pass you by Too exchanging You've been around But you've changed me You've been around Can't pass you by You've been around But you've changed me Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-change! Too exchanging You've been around But you've changed me You've been around Can't pass you by

When I was young If I just closed my eyes Then I could go anywhere Dream of any place Imagination set the pace And my heart was happy there What a shame that you came Round and told me Said my dreams can't come true "Don't be foolish Give up your wish Big things aren't for you" And how you'd scold and chide me Forever criticize me But now I think I know the truth You were the one Who held me down and told me I was heading nowhere You said know your place Accept your fate and show good face And be thankful that you're there That was so long ago When you owned me I believed it was true Bend me shape me Build me break me Why was I your fool? And now I'm so much stronger I'm not yours any longer I've got a message here for you Time for you to learn It's my turn I won't be held down any longer I've waited all my life and finally it's here It all begins A chance to win A dream that's been a lifetime An endless vast uphill climb The day I've waited for is drawing near Hey wait turn and show your face I've got a lot to say And you're not going anywhere You lose; the time you ruled me's through I'm in control I own my soul And I'll never go back there Wasted years that I spent Never knowing I was kept, I was used Never-ending Condescending Now I just refuse I don't care what it costs me I know I almost lost me Won't spend another day confused You rose I fell Made my life hell Anything to crush my soul Anything to feel control Finally free I've come so far Finally see how sick you are I spent my life degraded But I won't leave here jaded I'll start again and finally prove Time for you to learn It's my turn I won't be held down any longer I've waited all my life and finally it's here It all begins A chance to win A dream that's been a lifetime An endless vast uphill climb The day I've waited for is drawing near
