I'm Still Here - John Rzeznik

I am a question to the world 
Not an answer to the Earth 
On a moment 
That's held in your arms 
And what do you think you'd ever say 
I won't listen anyway 
You don't know me 
And I'll never be who you want me to be 

And what do you think you'd understand 
I'm a boy, no, I'm a man 
You can't take me 
And throw me away 
And how can you learn what's never shown 
Yeah you stand here on you own 
They don't know me 
'Cause I'm not here 

And I want a moment to be real 
Want to touch things I don't feel 
Want to hold on 
And feel I belong 
And how can the world want me to change 
They're the ones that stay the same 
They don't know me 
'Cause I'm not here 

And you see the things they never see 
All you wanted I could be 
Now you know me 
And I'm not afraid 
And I want to tell you who I am 
Can you help me be a man 
They can't break me 
As long as I know who I am 

And I want a moment to be real 
Want to touch things I don't feel 
Want to hold on 
And feel I belong 
And how can the world want me to change 
They're the ones that stay the same 
They can't see me 
But I'm still here 

They can't tell me who to be 

'Cause I'm not what they see 

Yeah the world is still sleeping while I keep on dreaming for me 

And their words are just whispers and lies that I'll never believe 

And I want a moment to be real 
Want to touch things I don't feel 
Want to hold on 
And feel I belong 
And how can you say I'll never change 
They're the ones that stay the same 
I'm the one now 
'Cause I'm still here 

I'm the one 
'Cause I'm still here 
I'm still here 
I'm still here 
I'm still here
