At a usual first introduction, I say "Hello" and "How do you do?"
It shows people good emotions, like it's all you are able to
Which is fine I guess, but we all know it's a lie
Sit down, maybe, and I'll tell you why
I've said it to myself many times before;
I suppose telling you, won't hurt me any more


"Excuse me, Ma'am or Sir, can I have your attention please? This state of mind I'm living in; It's brought me to my knees
I've stood alone and taken it for way-oh-much-too-long
I don't blame you or anyone else indeed
But how can you just sit there watching while I plead?
In here it's a wild mess, and I'm lonely!"

I pour out my heart
Yet you don't care
I'm covered with the scars
From those who don't play fair
