It's always my fault
It's always me
I'm always blamed
I'm always framed

I've learned to take it
And accept all the punches
I wake up with these knives in my back
I go to bed with these bruises

"If you hadn't"
"You should've"
"Maybe if you"
"Why didn't you"
"Shut up"
"I don't want to hear it"
"Just shut up!"
"That's not your job!"
"You're going through a phase"
"What s wrong with you?"
"I don't get you, no one does"
"JUST STOP!"
"I CAN NEVER GET A WORD IN!"

I'M SORRY
I'm sorry
I'm sorry that all I can say is sorry
Because anything else isn't acceptable

I couldn't tell you the future, but I can't even remember my past
How do we know the differences, we strive to make, will grow and last?
I couldn't tell you that I understood because you wouldn't believe me anyway
And I couldn't tell you my opinion because you'd have so many other things to say

Some say my opinion doesn't matter,
While others say we need the free speech!
Some say my goals are all that matter,
Others say they're too hard to reach
I couldn't tell you the truth,
Because it's buried so far in the ground
All I can be is confused by the opinions that are floating around

These facts are not facts,
These truths are not truths,
And they should not matter at all to you.
But....
They do.
And you never know how they appeal to you or why they do,
But no matter how much you hate them you want to know what others think of you...
But do yours matter to them?
That's a horse of a different color.
If theirs matter to you,
Wouldn't yours matter to them too?

Maybe nothing matters.
I'm afraid I couldn't say.

That's why it's up to you
To find your own way.

Don't listen to the liars, and the cheats, and the cads,
Don't listen to your mothers, your brothers, or dads.
Just live your truth and speak your mind
Remember opinions aren't facts but they're no less kind
What is my truth?
What do I stand for?
I couldn't tell you
Simply because I don't have a truth.

we are not guided
you don't get a map

there are no instructions,
no teachers or angels,
you blaze your own trails
fall down your own holes

every step you take
will be your triumph or mistake
and it's up to you
if you bend and break

don't
blame your mother,
sister,
or brother
it was you all along
you weren't guided

On the edge of sadness
and the tears are creeping up

I'm slipping into madness
And it's never gonna stop

drowsy
tired
blurry
shaky vision,
red and blue eyes
I see the world through cracked lenses
inhaling the lies I've been living off of since birth
watching the bearded lady take a bite of the candy house
she doesn't know about the witch

I've tried the poison, you should too
It's better than others advertise
even kids drink it

step right up, come one come all
be the first to see the woman cry
watch her cry for her life,
her missing husband and kids
she couldn't find at the bottom of a bottle
From fire eaters to ****** addicts,
people from all walks of life with vices and not-so-virtuous-virtues,
You can see everything here.
you can spend forever here.
we haven't had one unsatisfied customer
are you hard to please?

You can't find love in a wishing well
You can't find love in the stars

You can't find love in a hall mark card
So stop looking in random places....

Because it'll find you when you least expect it

You're the first thing that I think of in the morning
And the last thing that I think of in the night

Whenever im holed up in my room mourning
Going over what's gone wrong all through my life

You make me want to step outside,
Take a breath of the air
Feel the sun on my skin and the light hit my eyes

And I'm aware that it's cheesy
But it's you and me-e-e
On a scale of one to ten
You're eleven

Whenever you wrap me in your arms,
I can feel your warmth surrou-ound me

I feel so-o-o protected from harm
And there's nothing that could disappoint me

You make me want to keep on smiling,
Take a bite of a laugh
And i can't hold it back it's beguiling

And I'm aware that it's cheesy
But it's you and me-e-e
On a scale of one to ten You're eleven

You're always in my space,
Killing  me with your embrace,
Tickling my heart,
It tears me apart,

And I'm aware that it's cheesy
But it's you and me-e-e
On a scale of one to ten
You're eleven
