They took the beat away
Gave the sound a brand new name
They want to change but you just want to stay the
same(thing) that you did last year
Now they hear with different ears
Crippled by their words now the speakers ring with
Fear of they're gonna say
Who will their papers blaze'
Something new is here you can start to fade
away for them to sound so smart
So much for making art
Pull out your heart, be ready to be ripped apart

It's so scary when you're on your own,
Tell it to the microphone
It's so scary when you're on your own

Rip your chest open wide
Show us all what's inside
Tell it to the mic.
Tell us what you think of life
Life can be anything
but you chose to play and sing
Compose from your heart
Find art in
everything they write is so heart felt
they can't deal with the cards they're dealt
they can't make it themselves
so they'll take it from someone else

It's so scary when you're on your own,
Tell it to the microphone
It's so scary when you're on your own
Woahoh

It's so scary when you're on your own,
Tell it to the microphone
It's so scary when you're on your own
