In so many places, so many faces I've seen
No two are quite the same
Shame and disgrace, erasing the color of our skin
Trying to hide who we are
Don't wanna lie, don't wanna leave, don't wanna run from the truth
Don't ever think I didn't know that it's hard on you
But sometimes the words are here
Hidden in us
If it's not real, if you don't feel it
There's no need to lie
Sometimes the words are hidden in us
Don't wanna lie, don't wanna leave, don't wanna run from the truth
Don't wanna lie, don't wanna leave, don't wanna run from the truth
Trying to hold on, trying to be strong, trying to be the one
Who takes the blame
Changed us for life
Please don't seize me
I know it'd be easy to carry on
Fooling ourselves all our lives
So many words I thought that I heard in your voice
Your great disguise is false
Don't wanna lie, don't wanna leave, don't wanna run from the truth
Don't ever think I didn't know that it's hard on you
Sometimes the words are hidden in us
If it's not real, if you don't feel it
It's not worth the fight
Sometimes the words are hidden in us
Trying to be strong, trying to hold on
Trying to be the one who makes it right
Words are hidden in us
Don't wanna lie, don't wanna leave, don't wanna run from the truth

Trying to be strong, trying to be the one who makes it right
Don't wanna lie, don't wanna leave, don't wanna go hand in hand
Everyone hit me
I know
Trying to take a stand
If you're trying to take a stand
I am
No crying, no grief
No crying, no defeat
No deceit
No mine
No cause
No defeat
Why?
No loss
You're becoming quantify
Everybody reach your hands
Everybody, reach your hand
Every body, reach your hands
Trying to take your hand


So many places, so many faces I've seen
No two are quite the same
