Lyrics Somebody stepped inside your soul Somebody stepped inside your soul Little by little they robbed and stole Till someone else was in control You think it's easier To put your finger on the trouble When the trouble is you And you think it's easier To know your own tricks Well it's the hardest thing you'll ever do I have a will for survival So you can hurt me and then hurt me some more I can live with denial But you're not my troubles anymore Somebody stepped inside your soul Somebody stepped inside your soul Little by little they robbed and stole Till somebody else was in control Somebody stepped inside your soul Somebody stepped inside your soul Little by little they robbed and stole Till someone else was in control You think it's easier To give up on the trouble If the trouble is destroying you You think it's easier But before you threw me a rope It was the one thing I could hold on to I have a will for survival So you can hurt me then hurt me some more I can live with denial But you're not my troubles anymore Somebody stepped inside your soul Somebody stepped inside your soul Little by little they robbed and stole Till somebody else was in control Somebody stepped inside your soul Somebody stepped inside your soul Little by little they robbed and stole Till somebody else was in control God knows it's not easy Taking on the shape of someone else's pain God now you can see me I'm naked and I'm not afraid My body's sacred and I'm not ashamed Somebody stepped inside your soul Somebody stepped inside your soul Little by little they robbed and stole Till somebody else was in control Somebody stepped inside your soul Somebody stepped inside your soul Little by little they robbed and stole Till someone else was in control
