"Gave My Heart Out" lyrics

Tried it my way to get it right
Always got cut down to size
I never though enough about it
Was quick to quit and quick to shout about it

Cut my feet while I cut my teeth
Breakin' out rather breathlessly
Independent, but sadly faulty
Dedicated, but a bit unholy

My own
My own
My own
My own
My own
My own
My own
Oh, oh, oh-oh

I only wanted what it meant to be free
Take the whole world on and bury
All the pride of a mercenary
The egotistical high and mighty

Good for nothin', illegitimate hybrids
Who would never bust the chain of misguided
Before I knew it, I'd fallen and faded
Into the system, destined to be jaded

My own
My own
My own
My own
My own
My own
My own

And I found rapture
I found warning
Played my heart out
A melody so

Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone

My own
My own
My own
My own
My own
My own
My own
Whoa-oh-oh
