Broken Bottles
I am just a human, making my mistakes 
 I have no difference, to the rest of the human race
 but then you go and judge me again and again
 I know I'm perfect, so where does it end? . . .
 I know, I'd never say 
 
  but some friends you are
 I know, I'd never say
 
  Get the hell away
 
 
 
 sometimes I wanna scream . . .
 
 WOAH 
 when the going gets rough I just gotta hang tough, yeah
 WOAH 
 You know I'm not your average girl, yeah I'm gonna blow your world
 so get ready . . . . for me
 But these words mean nothing you see
 They're in bottles, floating out, to sea 
 
 I've always felt trapped
 In my skin
 In my head
 I know I gotta break out but in myself I start to doubt
 You've broken me down by saying I am no good. 
 That I'm a mess like the rest who don't make it with the best
 I know I'd never say
 
   some friends you are
 I know I'd never say
 
   I wanna break away!
 
 
 
 I just tell myself . . .
 
 WOAH 
 when the going gets rough I just gotta hang tough, yeah
 WOAH 
 You know I'm not your average girl, yeah I'm gonna blow your world
 so get ready . . . . for me
 But these words mean nothing you see
 They're in bottles, floating out, to sea 
 
 My words are in a bottle
 Drifting out to sea
 No one will ever find them
 Except for me . . .
 
 WOAH 
 when the going gets rough I just gotta hang tough, yeah
 WOAH 
 You know I'm not your average girl, yeah I'm gonna blow your world
 so get ready . . . . for me
 But these words mean nothing you see
 They're in bottles, floating out, to sea 
 
 
 Then I found a real friend, and you know what they did? 
 they swam though my sea
 built up my self esteem 
 they found my bottles
 broke them apart
 set my words free
 now I can be me
 
 
 
   Now I can scream . . .
 
 WOAH 
 when the going gets rough I just gotta hang tough, yeah
 WOAH 
 You know I'm not your average girl, yeah I'm gonna blow your world
 so get ready . . . . for me
 these words 
 they mean more
 then you ever did to me! 
 You can have, my broken bottles 
 as they wash, on the beach
