Personal

Worried about me when I frown Afraid for me when I look down Probe me when I don’t make a sound If I walk away you follow me around What is it that you want from me? Don’t treat me like an idol You try so hard to look into me One glare and suddenly I’m suicidal Stop coming up my way Please listen to me when I say I want you just to go away It’s personal. Try to cheer me when I’m sad Try to calm me when I’m mad Really think you’ve got it bad I’m not your friend, I’m not a fan How else can I explain to you? Comprehend the signs I don’t want to confide in you Stop telling me you're mine Please refrain Don’t ask again One word remains, it’s: Personal. Don’t keep me close Don’t try to coax This is no hoax. It’s personal.
