Your Voice

I've gotta say what's on my mind
Don't care if these words sound unkind
'Cause I've always been left behind
You never even bothered to find
Me

I know I've been the small one
Every little sin - all that you have done
You left me bleeding all over the place
You've never ever heard of grace

And you're still in my head
When I lie in my bed
When I go throughout my day,
Oh, why won't you go away?
I've played the victim card for far too long,
So now I'm gonna act like you are gone

Your voice is not mine
No, it's gonna be more kind, more kind.
Your voice is not mine
No, it's gonna be more bright, more bright
Yeah, I'm gonna be alright

I've gotta act like my true self
I couldn't be anybody else
'Cause I've been in too deep in your dirt
Oh, the nasty things that I have heard

And you still play a part in my life
When things get hard,
You wanna hand me your knife
You had me diminished for far too long
But now it's gonna be finished,
Over and done

Your voice is not mine
No, it's gonna be more kind, more kind
Your voice is not mine
No, it's gonna be more bright, more bright
Yeah, I'm gonna be alright

I still get to find my own voice
I still get to make a choice
I still get to make my own name,
Over and over again

Your voice is not mine
No, it's gonna be more kind, more kind
Your voice is not mine
No, it's gonna be more bright, more bright
Yeah, I'm gonna be alright

Yeah, I'm gonna be alright
Yeah, I'm gonna be alright
Yeah, I'm gonna be alright
Yeah, I'm gonna be alright
