You can be right
And I'll be real
Honesty won't be a pain that you'll have to feel
Cause I don't need your approval
To find my worth
I'm trapped inside of my own mind
Afraid to open my eyes cause of what I'd find and I
Don't want to live like this anymore

There goes my pain
There goes my chains
Did you see them falling
Because this feeling
That has no meaning

There goes the world
Off of my shoulders
There goes the world
Off of my back
There it goes

Does it scare you that I can
Be something different than you
Would it make you feel more comfortable if I wasn't
You can't control me
And you can't take away from me who I am

There goes my pain
There goes my chains
Did you see them falling
Because this feeling
That has no meaning

There goes the world
Off of my shoulders
There goes the world
Off of my back
You can't change me
You can't break me

There goes the world
Off of my shoulders
There goes the world
Off of my back

Have you ever felt
Like your only comfort was your cage
You're not alone
I've felt the same as you
Have you ever felt
Like your secrets give you away
You're not alone
I've been there too
Cause everyone is looking
And everyone is laughing but I think
Everyone feels the same
Everybody wants to feel ok
Everybody wants to
Everybody wants to feel

There goes my pain
There goes my chains
Did you see them falling
Because this feeling
That has no meaning

There goes the world
Off of my shoulders
There goes the world
Off of my back
Cause I don't want it
I don't want it
You can't change me
You can't break me

There goes the world
Off of my shoulders
There goes the world
Off of my back
There it goes



Behind the Song:
''Quasimodo' is a character who's chained down by people trying to get him to conform. Sometimes I get pictures of people when I'm writing. I look at this person like some kid at school who doesn't look as cool as the rest of the kids and doesn't act as cool. There's a group of kids that comes along and try to make him what they want him to be and do things he doesn't want to do. He goes along with it cause he's afraid. But by the chorus, he's breaking out of that, saying, 'There goes my pain / there goes my chains / did you see them falling / Because this feeling / that has no meaning / there goes the world / off of my shoulders.' So it ends hopefully.' - Jason Wade (Lifehouse)
