My Song

by Brandi Carlile

on The Story (2007), Live From Neumo's (2005)

Everything I do surrounds these pieces of my life
That often change
Or maybe I've changed
And sometimes seeming happy can be self destructive
Even when you're sane or only insane
But don't bother waking me today

CHORUS:
Here I am, I'm so young
I know I've been bitter
I've been jaded, I'm alone
Every day I'll bite my tongue
If you only knew my mind was full of razors
That cuts you like a word if only sung
But this is my song, it is my song

Now, I live every day
Like there'll never be a last one
Till they're gone and they're gone
And I'm too proud to beg for your attention
And your friendship and your time
So you can come and get it from now on

CHORUS:
Here I am, I'm so young
I know I've been bitter
I've been jaded, I'm alone
Every day I'll bite my tongue
If you only knew my mind was full of razors
That cuts you like a word if only sung
But this is my song, it's my song

And it's you, it is you

Here I am, I'm so young
I know I've been bitter
I've been jaded, I'm alone
Every day I'll bite my tongue
If you only knew my mind was full of razors

I'm not sure I can take it
I'm nothing strong to hold to
I'll wait to only hate you
My mind is full of razors
That cuts you like a word if only sung
But this is my song
