And I have to change Nobody understands me They don't get it They don't try to It's just all Or It's nothing I give so much And get so little When I back off They back off more When I go forward They step backward I feel like I should quit Maybe I should give up Stop trying Become who I was Quiet Embarrassed Careful Shy Didn't say hello Didn't speak her mind Just let everyone else Dictate my every thought But that's not who I am I've changed They've changed They should understand I'm a new girl It should be better Not worse I should be respected Not ridiculed So then what's happening What left me like this So alone So afraid That every time I try to sleep I end up crying I end up hurt And they don't bat an eye Because I changed I'm harsh I'm different If I tried I'd be better I could be Quiet Careful Shy Embarrassed And maybe they would notice That the strongest Are the weakest But they don't So by playing the weakest I am the strongest I am stronger than they know Stronger than they will ever be Stronger than they think I am But I'm not I'm not strong I'm weak I cry at five am To forget everything they've done I scream when I'm alone To try and get back Hoping that Maybe Hopefully They will understand They will hear me Scream And Cry And they will understand That I've changed
