Got nothing to prove anymore
Got nothing to prove anymore
Got nothing to prove anymore
Got nothing to prove anymore
When I was a little younger
I had to justify my angst
I'd spend a lotta precious time
Tryna find the facts
Then one day, I met Mikael
Mikael don't like my whine
So now I don't look toward my death
I look toward my life
Somehow this girl changed me
From a sad man to a clown
Now they call me crazy
'Cause nothing gets me down
Got nothing to prove anymore
Got nothing to prove anymore
Got nothing to prove anymore
Got nothing to prove anymore
When me and my girl walk down the street

When you're sayin' what you feel

Got nothing to prove anymore
Got nothing to prove anymore
Got nothing to prove anymore
Somehow this girl changed me
From a sad man to a clown
Now they call me crazy
'Cause nothing gets me down
Got nothing to prove anymore
Got nothing to prove anymore
Got nothing to prove anymore
Got nothing to prove anymore
