It's time to set the record straight
Then hopefully you don't just fade out
Doing what we have to to survive
I've been waiting far too long to give up all hope
That my heart is strong enough to stay alive
I know my wounds will heal with time
But still I wear all my scars with pride

When the push comes to shove, I'll shove it down your throat
So before you mess it all up, make sure like hell you don't
If you try to take me out, you best break all my bones
So before you mess it all up, make sure like hell you don't
Make sure like hell you don't

I know that every word I've said has fallen short of being clever
But I think you get the picture
I've been working too damn hard to give in to pressure
But it doesn't mean the walls aren't caving in
I know my wounds will heal with time
But still I wear all my scars with pride

When the push comes to shove, I'll shove it down your throat
So before you mess it all up, make sure like hell you don't
If you try to take me out, you best break all my bones
So before you mess it all up, make sure like hell you don't

I know my wounds will heal with time
I know my wounds will heal with time
But still I wear my scars with pride
But still I wear my scars with pride

When the push comes to shove, I'll shove it down your throat
So before you mess it all up, make sure like hell you don't
If you try to take me out, you best break all my bones
So before you mess it all up, make sure like hell you don't
