Strip Me
[Intro]
La-la-la-la-la la
Lala la la-la, la lala
La-la-la-la-la la
Lala la la-la la lala

[Verse 1]
Every day I fight for all my future somethings
A thousand little wars I have to choose between
I could spend a lifetime earning things I don't need
But that's like chasing rainbows and comin' home empty

[Pre-Chorus]
And if you strip me, strip it all away
If you strip me, what would you find?
If you strip me, strip it all away
I'll be alright

[Chorus]
Take what you want, steal my pride
Build me up or cut me down to size
Shut me out, but I'll just scream
I'm only one voice in a million
But you ain't taking that from me (Oh-oh-oh)
No, you ain't taking that from me (Oh-oh-oh)
You ain't taking that from me (Oh-oh-oh)
You ain't taking that from me (Oh-oh-oh)
You ain't taking that
[Verse 2]
I don't need a microphone (Yeah)
To say what I've been thinking
My heart is like a loudspeaker
That's always on eleven

[Pre-Chorus]
And if you strip me, strip it all away
If you strip me, what would you find?
If you strip me, strip it all away
I'm still the same

[Chorus]
Take what you want, steal my pride
Build me up or cut me down to size
Shut me out, but I'll just scream
I'm only one voice in a million
But you ain't taking that from me (Oh-oh-oh)
No, you ain't taking that from me (Oh-oh-oh)
You ain't taking that from me (Oh-oh-oh)
You ain't taking that from me (Oh-oh-oh)
You ain't taking that

[Bridge]
'Cause when it all boils down at the end of the day
It's what you do and say that makes you who you are
Makes you think about, think about it, doesn't it?
Sometimes all it takes is one voice
[Chorus]
Take what you want, steal my pride (Oh)
Build me up or cut me down to size
Shut me out, but I'll just scream
I'm only one voice in a million
But you ain't taking that from me (Oh-oh-oh)
No, you ain't taking that from me (Oh-oh-oh)
You ain't taking that from me (Oh-oh-oh)
You ain't taking that from me (Oh-oh-oh)
You ain't taking that
Take what you want, steal my pride
Build me up or cut me down to size
Shut me out, but I'll just scream
I'm only one voice in a million
But you ain't taking that from me (Oh-oh-oh)
No, you ain't taking that from me (Oh-oh-oh)
You ain't taking that from me (Oh-oh-oh)
You ain't taking that from me (Oh-oh-oh)
You ain't taking that

[Outro]
La-la-la-la-la la
Lala la la-la la lala
La-la-la-la-la la
Lala la la-la la lala
