Can't you see I'm just a writer
Learned enough to never be a liar again

Don't you know I'm not an actress
Taught myself to never ever try to pretend

And don't get me wrong
I, I have what you don't

I have a heart that's covered in scars
I got a beach, a melody, and a guitar
Got a dream that's bigger than me
I've got a rhyme, a rhythm, and time on the sea
You'll never take that away from me

And I can see you with your judgment
Don't you know that's all you'll have to show in the end?

Don't you know I'll go my own way
No surprise that I don't really care what you say

And don't get me wrong
I, I have what you don't

I have a heart that's covered in scars
I got a beach, a melody, and a guitar
Got a dream that's bigger than me
I've got a rhyme, a rhythm, and time on the sea
You'll never take that away from me

Can't you see I'm just a writer
Learned enough to never be a liar again

I got a heart that's covered in scars
I got a beach, a melody, and a guitar
Got a dream that's bigger than me
I've got a rhyme, a rhythm, and time on the sea
You'll never take that away from me
You'll never take that away from me
