CHORUS:
Everybody keeps tryin' to break my heart
Everybody except for me
I just want a chance to play the part
The part of someone truly free
Like candle slowly burning, I can feel my world unravel
Hemisphere upon hemisphere lie beneath my soul, soul
My enemies kept it turning, but now they pound the gavel
And judging me accordingly, I know, I know

CHORUS

Hey! {x3}
Oh

Burning slowly candle, handle careless they did
Merrily down three heartbreak boulevards
Like fashion statements, they lie "You be lookin' so good tonight, kid"
I do my best to party, it's just that everybody keeps tryin' to break my heart

CHORUS
Except for me (except for me)
I just want a chance to play

(Just wanna be free)

Slowly candle burns, where'd they learn hypnosis
How'd they keep me under for so long
Break the bread I earn, just keep me far from closest
I need their kind to illustrate what's wrong, what's wrong

Well, I'll tell you they just keep tryin' to break my heart

CHORUS

They just keep tryin' to break my heart, ow!

(Everybody) {x2}

CHORUS

But I can't let U break my heart

(Everybody keeps tryin' to break my heart)
Slave! (Everybody keeps tryin' to break my heart)
Slave! Slave! (Everybody keeps tryin' to break my heart)
Slave!
This song is from the album "Emancipation".
