Its been like this from the start, One piece after another to make my heart You mistake the game for being smart, Stand here, sell this and hit your mark. But the sound of the steel and the crush and the grind It all screams to remind who decides my life But in time it all dies there's nothing left inside Just rusted metal that was never even mine
[hook] I would scream But I'm just this hollow shell Waiting here, begging please, Set me free so I can feel Heeey
[chorus] Stop trying to live my life for me I need to breathe I'm not your robot Stop telling me I'm part of the big machine I'm breaking free Can't you see, I can love, I can speak Without somebody else operating me You gave me eyes so now I see I'm not your robot, I'm just me
All this time I've been misled There was nothing but cross-wires in my head, I've been taught to think that what I feel doesn't matter at all So you say it's real
[hook]
[chorus]
I'm not your robot, I'm just me I'm not your robot
[hook]
[chorus]
Stop trying to live my life for me I need to breathe I'm not your robot Stop telling me I'm part of the big machine I'm breaking free Can't you see I can love, I can speak Without somebody else operating me You gave me eyes and now I see I'm not your robot, I'm just me
