Hoobastank - First of Me Lyrics

Complimentary "First of Me" Ringtone

I must make a choice 
A tough decision 
Listen to my voice 
Should I give in to temptation, admiration?

One leads to myself 
The other someone else 
Just an empty shell 
Just an empty shell 

It's harder than it seems 
When you're told that 
All your hopes and dreams 
Are yours to hold if
You just give them what's expected

Something they can sell 
Put upon a shelf 
But I am not for sale 
I am not for sale 

I hear a voice inside 
It's grown into a scream 
I'm not the next of them 
I am the first of me 

'Cause I can't live the lie 
I am just what you see 
I'm not the next of them 
I am the first of me 

If I can't refuse 
The prize they offer 
I am sure to lose 
And I will suffer 
Sell my soul to make a profit 

All I have to do 
Is make believe it's true 
That's something I can't do 
That's something I can't do 

I hear a voice inside 
It's grown into a scream 
I'm not the next of them 
I am the first of me 

'Cause I can't live the lie 
I am just what you see 
I'm not the next of them 
I am the first of me 

Ah, ooh
I am the first of me 
Ah, ooh
I am the first of me 

So, when the waiting's done 
And it's time to face the truth 
You know you're good enough 
Deep down inside of you 

You've finally woken up 
If only just to prove 
You were born to lead the way 
And be the first of you
