Maybe it’s just me, but the world seems lost somehow
People I talk to seem so empty inside
Nothing to say, just following wherever the river is flowing that day
They wonder why some feel broken
But they will never know, never feel, never understand
So many who hate the way the look – for what?
Who do you want to feel pretty for? Boys? Girls? Your parents? Who?
Why isn’t being yourself enough today?
Why?
I am who I am, I was born this way, this is the way I am
But it’s not enough, it never is enough
People judge me every day, but they never see me
Who can ever see me? See you? Can you see yourself?
Who are you?
I ask myself that very question day after day. Who are you...
I know who I want to be, how I want to be
Everyday is a struggle to get by, but nobody sees that either
I can see people laughing, when they’re really crying inside
Screaming for help, begging for someone to see them
How can we feel so alone in this crowded world?
How can we be so lost, how did we ever get here?
Somedays it all feels so very far away, I’m on top of the world
But one word, one look and it’s all gone
How can we hurt eachother so? Do you even know me?
Nobody does
Nobody but yourself truly knows you
They say it’s selfish to throw it all away
To end it yourself
Who can tell? Maybe I would spare you the effort it takes to judge me?
Make fun of me. Laugh at me. Roll your eyes at me.
Spare you the effort
Spare you the effort to care, to really take your time to get to know me
Take your time to really care
Because in this hectic world, who has the time to care?
Every person for themself
Isn’t it?
I’m so sick of it
Sick of it all
