Now you wanna know what I've been thinkin' Now you wanna hear what's on my mind But you don't wanna take the time to listen I'm already wrong and you're always right
What you gonna do when the battles over What can you say when it's all been said I'm on the verge of becoming a stranger Silence was my self defense
Now the truth is loud and the anger's real And nobody wins in the end
I give, you take, there's never any other way You push, I break, no matter what I say You win, I lose, there's never any compromise It's black and white But you can't be right all the time
Let me take a breath before I lose it Let me lay it down in another way If you're not willin' yo meet me in the middle Then ya gotta be willing to throw it all away
I'm tired of banging my head on a brick wall I'm tired of being your whippin' boy If there's anything here worth saving I'll be the one to make that choice
Cause truth is loud and the anger's real And there's no more of me left to bend
I give, you take, there's never any other way You push, I break, no matter what I say You win, I lose, there's never any compromise It's black and white But you can't be right all the time
Take your righteous words, your discontent You need to have the last say about everything I can't hear you now, can't hear you now I've shut you down, I've shut you down
I give, you take, there's never any other way You push, I break, no matter what I say You win, I lose, there's never any compromise It's black and white But you can't be right
I give, you take, there's never any other way You push, I break, no matter what I say You win, I lose, there's never any compromise It's black and white But you can't be right all the time
