Staind is a four-piece alternative band from Springfield, Massachusetts. Staind self-released their debut album, Tormented, in November 1996. Their second album, Dysfunction (produced by Fred Durst and released on Elektra Records), was their breakthrough record, and has sold more than two million albums in the United States. However, it was the release of the single "Outside" off of The Family Values Tour '99 compilation that sent Staind into superstar status. With heartbreaking lyrics and great acoustic guitar, the single garnered massive radio airplay and was a major force behind sending Staind's next album, Break the Cycle, into multiplatinum status.

Please Lyrics
Staind
Can't you see that I'm sick of this?
Chances are you're oblivious
To how I feel, Sitting on your throne
And I'm sure that I'm not alone, not alone, not alone...
Tell me please, who the fuck did you want me to be?
Was it something that I couldn't see?
Never knew this would be so political
And please, I'm still wearing this miserable skin
And it's starting to tear from within
But it's obvious that doesn't bother you
So please...
I didn't think that you'd sell me out
Now I know what you're all about
You might feel in control of things
But you're not holding all the strings, all the strings, all the strings...
Tell me please, who the fuck did you want me to be?
Was it something that I couldn't see?
Never knew this would be so political
And please, I'm still wearing this miserable skin
And it's starting to tear from within
But it's obvious that doesn't matter to you
I swallowed all your answers; I've swallowed all my pride
You've used up all your chances,
To keep this all inside
Tell me please, who the fuck did you want me to be?
Was it something that I couldn't see?
Never knew this would be so political
And please I'm still wearing this miserable skin
And it's starting to tear from within
But it's obvious that doesn't bother you
So please, don't keep telling me that it's okay
I don't buy all the shit that you say
And quite honestly I'm fucking sick of it
So please, if I cut off this nose from my face
Then I wouldn't feel so out of place
But it still wouldn't be quite enough for you,
So please…
