[Verse 1]

Say anything you like

Tell me how you feel

The truth will set you free

Even when it feels surreal

I’ve poured out my heart

And put it on a sleeve

Not one made from cloth

It's in jackets of CDs

Worked my fingers to the bone

Making all these beats

Spent a lot of time alone

Sacrificed a lot of sleep

None of it was easy

Wasn’t handed on a plate

But they tried to take my voice

So I've got a lot to say

[Chorus]

I think that I’m just like gum

Blowing up and so fun

Chew me up and spit me out

But somehow I still stick around

I think I got a lot left

And my flavours the best

Chew me up and spit me out

But you got my name all in your mouth

[Verse 2]

This is a thank you and a sorry

I hate making people worry

But I’m tougher than I look

And I don’t play by the book

Had to add a little postscript

I guess by now you noticed

That I never lost my focus

It was rough but never hopeless

I went against the odds

Most people wrote me off

But I remember how to laugh and trust

And I know I’m enough

I’ve changed but I’m not jaded

I’m just grateful that I made it

You can hate it if you like

But I’m getting on just fine

[Chorus]

I think that I’m just like gum

Blowing up and so fun

Chew me up and spit me out

But somehow I still stick around

I think I got a lot left

And my flavours the best

Chew me up and spit me out

But you got my name all in your mouth
