Every day is a struggle 
Between what I want to say and what I want to keep to myself 
And the words that manage to leave my lips 
Don't hurt me, but they hurt everyone else

So I find myself in need of a part 
I'm not sure why, but I think that it's because 
Of this desire to be what others want me to be 
Which is nothing close to me

But I'll see better when the smoke clears 
The smoke clears inside my head 
And I can listen when the screaming doesn't repeat everything I've said 
And all that remains me and who I am at the end of the day 
And this happens every day ... yeah...

Every day is a battle 
Between what I want to know and what I don't want to figure out 
And everything in between in these thoughts of mine that you know I can't live with out

So I find myself in need of a part 
I'm not sure why, but I think that it's because 
Of this desire to be what others want me to be 
Which is nothing close to me

But I'll see better when the smoke clears 
The smoke clears inside my head 
And I can listen when the screaming doesn't repeat everything I've said 
All that remains me and who I am at the end of the day 
And this happens every day ... yeah... oooh...

But I'll see better when the smoke clears 
The smoke clears inside my head 
And I can listen when the screaming doesn't repeat everything I've said 
All that remains me and who I am at the end of the day 
And this happens every day ... this happens every day 
This happens every day... yeah...
