Yeah,
I
hear
the
words
you
say
You
look
at
me
and
you
see
something
else
But
look
closer
You
sit
there
cold,
eyes
cast
on
the
floor
Comparing
me
to
something
I
ain't
no
more
You
say
I’
m
a
chicken,
that
I’
m
fragile
and
weak
Just
'cause
he’
s
got
a
job,
that’
s
the
future
you
seek
I’
ve
given
you
my
heart,
I’
ve
given
you
my
time
But
you’
re
chasing
shadows,
leaving
me
behind
Your
words
are
like
stones,
they
shatter
the
glass
Of
a
house
we
built,
now
it’
s
all
in
the
past
I
am
not
a
chicken,
I
am
a
man
with
a
soul
I’
ve
watched
you
walk
away,
leaving
me
in
a
hole
You
traded
our
love
for
a
paycheck
and
lies
But
I
see
the
truth
hidden
deep
in
your
eyes
I’
m
not
a
chicken,
I’
m
standing
my
ground
Even
when
the
silence
is
the
only
sound
I
remember
the
days
when
we
struggled
for
bread
When
love
was
the
pillow
we
laid
on
our
bed
Now
he’
s
the
king
with
the
suit
and
the
car
You
say
I’
m
a
chicken,
you’
ve
pushed
me
too
far
Does
he
know
your
heart?
Does
he
know
how
you
fear?
Or
is
he
just
the
distraction
to
dry
up
your
tear?
I’
m
hurt,
I
am
broken,
I’
m
feeling
the
weight
But
I
won't
let
you
dictate
the
hand
of
my
fate
I
am
not
a
chicken,
I
am
a
man
with
a
soul
I’
ve
watched
you
walk
away,
leaving
me
in
a
hole
You
traded
our
love
for
a
paycheck
and
lies
But
I
see
the
truth
hidden
deep
in
your
eyes
I’
m
not
a
chicken,
I’
m
standing
my
ground
Even
when
the
silence
is
the
only
sound
I
see
him
calling,
I
hear
the
lies
you
tell
You
turned
our
heaven
into
a
lonely
hell
But
watch
me
rise,
watch
the
storm
clear
away
I’
ll
find
my
footing,
I’
ll
see
a
brand
new
day
You
think
I’
m
small,
but
I’
ve
got
fire
in
my
chest
I’
m
moving
on
now,
I’
m
putting
this
to
rest
I
am
not
a
chicken,
I
am
a
man
with
a
soul
I’
ve
watched
you
walk
away,
leaving
me
in
a
hole
You
traded
our
love
for
a
paycheck
and
lies
But
I
see
the
truth
hidden
deep
in
your
eyes
I’
m
not
a
chicken,
I’
m
standing
my
ground
Even
when
the
silence
is
the
only
sound
I
won’
t
give
up,
no,
I’
m
still
here
Facing
the
morning,
losing
the
fear
You
chose
the
shallow,
I
chose
the
truth
I’
m
moving
forward,
far
from
this
youth
Yeah,
far
from
this
truth. (
