I'm Steel Here

Johnny Rzeznik - "I'm steel here"

*

I am a question to the world,

Not an answer to be heard.

All a moment that's held in your arms.

And what do you think you'd ever say?

I won't listen anyway...

You don't know me,

And I'll never be what you want me to be.

*

And what do you think you'd understand?

I'm a boy, no, I'm a man...

You can take me and throw me away.

And how can you learn what's never shown?

Yeah, you stand here on your own.

They don't know me 'cause I'm not here.

*

All I want a moment to be real,

Wanna touch things I don't feel,

Wanna hold on and feel I belong.

And how can the world want me to change,

They're the ones that stay the same.

They don't know me,

'Cause I'm not here.

*

And you see the things they never see.

All you wanted, I could be.

Now you know me, and I'm not afraid.

And I wanna tell you who I am.

Can you help me be a man?

They can't break me.

As long as I know who I am.

*

They can't tell me who to be.

Wanna touch things I don't feel,

Wanna hold on and feel I belong.

And how can they say I never change.

They're the ones that stay the same.

I'm the one now,

'Cause I'm steel here.
