Hoobastank - The First Of Me

I must make a choice

A tough decision

Listen to my voice

Should I give in

To temptation, admiration

One leads to myself

The other some one else

Just an empty shell

Just an empty shell

It s harder than it seems

When you re told that

All your hopes and dreams

Are yours to hold if

You just give them

What s expected

Something they can sell

Put upon a shelf

That I am not for sell

I am not for sell

I hear a voice inside

It s crowning to a scream

I m not the next of them

I am the first of me

cause I can live the lie

I am just what you see

I m not the next of them

I am the first of me

If I can t refuse

The price they offer

I am sure to lose

And I will suffer

Sell my soul to make a profit

All I have to do

Is make believe it s true

That something I can t do

That something I can t do

I hear a voice inside

It s crowning to a scream

I m not the next of them

I am the first of me

cause I can live the lie

I am just what you see

I m not the next of them

I am the first of me

I am the first of me

I am the first of me

So when the waiting s gone

This time to face the truth

You know your good enough

Deep down inside of you

You re finally woken up

If only just to prove

You are born to lead the way

Then be the first of you
