Dead Man Walking Lyrics

Sorry to disappoint you
But you can't even grasp what I've been through
In the end, you've engraved this in my head
You told me to be dead
Do you even know what you said
Remember when I closed my eyes and took my last breath
By the grasp of your hands clinched tight around my neck
So you made me this way, you created this mistake
You tried to put me away with every blow I would take
But I grew up now and I'm sorry to say
I'm exactly like you
A fucking mistake

Sorry to humiliate you
But they have never felt dead like I do
Tore out my insides, left me to die
I crawled like a dog to save my own life
Sorry to disappoint you
But you can't even grasp what I've been through
They ate me alive they ate me alive
I curled up and died because they ate me alive

Where were you when I learned to take it like a man
Where were you when I learned to stand
Where were you when I learned to take it like a man

Dead man walking
Chipping at my soul and taking it in slow
He's dead man walking
Someones in my head I swear
Now I can say that I know what it's like to play dead
Dead man dies
And I still see your twitching ghost
When I'm looking in the mirror
Do you see mine
We are one in the same, I swear
Now I can say that I know what it's like to play dead
Dead man walking

Sorry to repulse you
But you have never fought life like I do
Forgot how to cry, learned how to lie
I put you away to the back of my mind
Sorry to disgust you
But you can't even taste what I've been through
They ate me alive they ate me alive
I curled up and died cause they ate me alive

Where were you when I learned to take it like a man
Where were you when I learned to stand
Where were you when I learned to take it like a man

Dead man walking
Chipping at my soul and taking it in slow
He's dead man walking
Someones in my head I swear
Now I can say that I know what it's like to play dead
Dead man dies
And I still see your twitching ghost
When I'm looking in the mirror
Do you see mine
We are one in the same, I swear
Now I can say that I know what it's like to play dead
Dead man walking

Where were you when I learned to take it like a man
Where were you when I learned to stand
Where were you when I learned to take it like a man
Where were you when I learned to take to like a man
Where were you when I learned to stand
Where were you when I learned to take it like a man

Dead man walking
Chipping at my soul and taking it in slow
He's dead man walking
Someones in my head I swear
Now I can say that I know what it's like to play dead
Dead man dies
And I still see your twitching ghost
When I'm looking in the mirror
Do you see mine
We are one in the same, I swear
Now I can say that I know what it's like to play dead
Dead man walking
