I and I

I've got a stage and a mic

Which I use to say things you won't like

But I spent years thinking I was alone (Thinking I was alone)

Now I know, now I know, that I'm not, that I'm not

And I'm sharing that comfort with those

Who think that hope is lost

Oh and I'm so proud of where I am

I'm learning where to stand or to tread lightly

So hold back

Steadfast you've gotta breathe

And be content, just count to ten

Like all the experts say and if

Their drugs don't seem to work

Then they've got a padded room for you

To get your just desserts

If I could chose my own name

I'd chose something that's bold and fits

Like anger, aggression, or cunningly brash

By the skin of my teeth but with timing and class

Oh woe is me (Oh woe is me)

Oh woe were us (Oh woe were us)

But not anymore we stand up for ourselves

We're like captains at war, we'll get followed to hell

Oh and I'm so proud of where I am

I'm learning where to stand or to tread lightly

So hold back

Steadfast you gotta breathe

And be content, just count to ten

Like all the experts say and if

Their drugs don't seem to work

Then they've got a padded room for you

To get your just desserts

I and I, we're taking control of our lives

I and I, we're taking control of our lives

I and I, we're taking control of our lives

Everything's alright

I and I, we're taking control of our lives

I and I, we're taking control of our lives

I and I, we're taking control of our lives

Everything's alright

So (So) hold back

Steadfast you've gotta breathe

And be content, just count to ten

Like all the experts say and if

Their drugs don't seem to work

Then they've got a padded room for you

To get your just desserts
