Hoobastank First Of Me Lyrics

First Of Me Lyrics

I must make a choice

A tough decision

Listen to my voice

Should I give in

To temptation, admiration?



One leads to myself

The other someone else

Just an empty shell

Just an empty shell



It's harder than it seems

When you're told that

All your hopes and dreams

Are yours to hold if

You just give them what's expected



Something they can sell

Put upon a shelf

But I am not for sale

I am not for sale



I hear a voice inside

It's grown into a scream

I'm not the next of them

I am the first of me



'Cause I can't live the lie

I am just what you see

I'm not the next of them

I am the first of me



If I can't refuse

The price they offer

I am sure to lose

And I will suffer

Sell my soul to make a profit



All I have to do

Is make believe it's true

That's something I can't do

That's something I can't do



I hear a voice inside

It's grown into a scream

I'm not the next of them

I am the first of me



'Cause I can't live the lie

I am just what you see

I'm not the next of them

I am the first of me



Ah,  ooh

I am the first of me

Ah,  ooh

I am the first of me



So, when the waiting's done

And it's time to face the truth

You know you're good enough

Deep down inside of you



You've finally woken up

If only just to prove

You were born to lead the way

And be the first of you
