Into the Open

I don't choose the battles, no they chose me I don't choose the battles, no they chose me I don't choose the battles, no they chose me I don't choose the battles, no they chose me I don't choose the battles, no they chose me I don't choose the battles, no they chose me You beat me up, you tear me down, you walk away You cut the ties, you cast me down, you curse my name I'm tired of your ghost always haunting me You are dressed regret laced with with tragedy Gave you all I had so I stand With my heart in hand You pulled me into the open I made my stand But you pull me down You dragged me through the mud Now you're asking me for help You only care about yourself With my heart in hand You pulled me into the open again Take everything, I'm beaten, I'm a-broken now I lift you up and all you do is let me down I'm so sick, you hypocrite Take and take and take and take and take Til there's nothing left Gave you all I had so I stand With my heart in hand You pulled me into the open I made my stand But you pull me down You dragged me through the mud Now you're asking me for help You only care about yourself With my heart in hand You pulled me into the open again I don't choose the battles, no they chose me I don't choose the battles, no they chose me I don't choose the battles, no they chose me I don't choose the battles, no they chose me With my heart in hand You pulled me into the open I made my stand But you pull me down You dragged me through the mud Now you're asking me for help You only care about yourself With my heart in hand You pulled me into the open again
