So, it's been like this from the start,
one piece after another to create my heart
you mistake the game for being smart,
Stand here, sell this, and hit your mark
The sound of the steel and the crush and the grind
It all screams who am I to decide my life
But at time it all dies
There's nothing left inside
Just rusted metal, that was never even mine
I would scream
But I'm just this hollow shell
Waiting here, begging please
Set me free so I can feel

Stop trying to live my life for me
I need to breath
I'm not your robot
Stop telling me I'm apart of a big machine
I'm breaking free
Can't you see
I can love
I can speak
Without somebody else operating me
You gave me eyes and now I see
I'm not your robot I'm just me

All this time I've been mislead
There was nothing but cross wires in my head
I've been taught to think about what I feel,
doesn't matter at all until you say it's real
I would scream
But I'm just this hollow shell
waiting here, begging please
Set me free so I can feel

Stop trying to live my life for me
I need to breath
I'm not your robot
Stop telling me I'm apart of a big machine
I'm breaking free
Can't you see
I can love
I can speak
Without somebody else operating me
You gave me eyes and now I see
I'm not your robot I'm just me

I'm not your robot, I'm just me
I'm not your robot

I would scream, but I'm just this hollow shell
Waiting here
Breaking free
Set me free so I can feel

Stop trying to live my life for me
I need to breath
I'm not your robot
Stop telling me I'm apart of a big machine
I'm breaking free
Can't you see
I can love
I can speak
Without somebody else operating me
You gave me eyes and now I see
I'm not your robot, I'm just me

I'm not your robot, I'm just me
I'm not your robot
