you reached out, you got burned, made tough by the lessons you learned

you never thought they could be so mean,

be so hard and cause you so much pain

like a fool you tried again, you really wanted to be their friend

but looking back you see they just wasted your time (X3)

self loathing, the anger inside, you covered it up with pride, you always

found a way to

blame it on yourself, on yourself, blame it on yourself



looking back you get yourself together...

looking back you get to go on...

looking back you see that you

get to change your mind about yourself and you get to go on...



so mad, so mean, the pain remained unseen

all that time pent up wanting to explode (X3)

what they did, the things the said, you wished that you were dead

anything not to have to deal with them (X3)

they made you hate, you couldn't wait to go out and do something great

turn around and throw it right back in their face (X4)



looking back you get yourself together

looking back you see all the hatred inside

now you see that you get to change your mind about yourself

and you get to go on, so go on..!

looking back you see you just wasted your time

buying into the talk and the lies

looking back you see all you've got is yourself

you can tell by the look in their eyes



alien man, I'm an alien man, I'm an alien man, I'm an alien man... yeah!



now you see how you are, the wisdom mixed it with all the scars

go on out and watch all the fools passes souls on by

they never knew, they never do, it was always up to you

you gotta go out and get it for yourself (x3)

you never were one of them, they could have never been your friends

the best revenge is to always survive yourself (X bunch of times
