Keep on Tellin' Me

Submitted by purplegal101 on March 19, 2008 - 10:17.

Verse 1:
In my search
for a better day
why mush I look this way
I try to break through
But the world keeps on tellin’ me
I must fit into it’s puzzle

Chorus:
Well the world keeps on tellin’ me
To feel this way
But I know I
I forget sometimes
To be my own
So I work harder everyday
(mmhmm)

Verse 2:
Who can ask?
What’s to say: What the world’s puzzle is anyway?
I could be a gifted one
Don’t leave me here alone
To break through this spell

Chorus:
Well the world keeps on tellin’ me
To feel this way
But I know I
I forget sometimes
To be my own
So I work harder everyday
(mmhmm)

Verse 3:
In my search for a better day
I must work to be my own
And look my way
So I work harder every day
To be the lost piece of the puzzle
