my ignorant heart, twice over

I've got another confession to make
I'm your fool
Everyone's got their chains to break
Holding you
Were you born to resist, or be abused?

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best
The best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best
The best of you?
Or are you gone and onto someone new?

I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn't have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in, too strong to lose

My heart is under arrest again
But I'll break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can't choose
I swear I'll never give in; I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best
The best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best
The best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
The pain you feel, it's real
You trust, you must confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best
The best of you?

Has someone taken your faith?
It's real, the pain you feel
The life, the love, you'd die to heal
The hope that starts, the broken hearts
You trust, you must confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best
The best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best
The best of you?

I've got another confession, my friend
I'm no fool
I'm getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new
Were you born to resist, or be abused?
I swear I'll never give in; I refuse
