So many people tell me that they love me But why do I interpret the beauty they see as ugly? What do they find in me that's so endearing That despite what I do and say all that they're hearing Are my pleas for help, my cries for salvation From this eternal hell, from being cast to damnation Instead of walking away and disappearing from the wreck that I am They choose to stick around and instead offer a helping hand Bringing joy into my life, so that I may feel blessed Now instead of loads of strife, I can take a needed rest I can drop down these walls I've erected due to fear And bring those friends close to me, and forever hold them near
