CHORUS:
  Everybody keeps tryin' 2 break my heart
  Everybody except 4 me
  I just want a chance 2 play the part
  The part of someone truly free
    Like candle slowly burning, I can feel my world unravel
  Hemisphere upon hemisphere lie beneath my soul, soul
  My enemies kept it turning, but now they pound the gavel
  And judging me accordingly, I know, I know
    CHORUS
    Hey! {x3}
  Oh
    Burning slowly candle, handle careless they did
  Merrily down 3 heartbreak boulevards
  Like fashion statements, they lie "U be lookin' so good 2night, kid"
  I do my best 2 party, it's just that everybody keeps tryin' 2 break my
  heart
    (CHORUS)
  Except 4 me (Except 4 me)
  I just want a chance 2 play
    (Just wanna be free)
    Slowly candle burns, where'd they learn hypnosis?
  How'd they keep me under 4 so long?
  Break the bread I earn, just keep me far from closest
  I need their kind 2 illustrate what's wrong - what's wrong?
    Well, I'll tell U they just keep tryin' 2 break my heart (CHORUS)
  They just keep tryin' 2 break my heart, ow!
    (Everybody) {x2}
    CHORUS
    But I can't let U break my heart
    (Everybody keeps tryin' 2 break my heart)
  Slave! (Everybody keeps tryin' 2 break my heart)
  Slave! Slave! (Everybody keeps tryin' 2 break my heart)
  Slave!
