I'm striving to be accepted in a world full of hate,
I never would have thought the consequences would be this great;
I didn’t think that in order to fit in, I’d have to change who I am—
That I’d have to conform and become something else for them;
I hate what I’m doing and I don’t know why I do
Maybe it’s because I think you will notice me too
But maybe you never will, maybe it was all a mirage
Because you were too busy hiding behind your entourage
Why do I care so much and let you get into my heart,
When I’ve known that you would hurt me from the start?
So now I’m hurt and I’m having trouble letting go of you
I can truly say that I don’t know what to do.
I think I just need to walk away and take myself out of the picture
I should have done it before when I heard everyone’s stricture.
They told me you were no good, that you would just break my heart;
But I didn’t believe them; I didn’t think we would ever be apart.
Now I see that I was wrong and have been this entire time
I just wish I wouldn’t have fallen this hard and committed this big crime.
Because you see I have committed a crime, I’ve committed one to myself
I let my feelings run away with me, and left my brain on the shelf.
I didn’t pay attention to what my mind was screaming at me
Maybe if I would have, this wouldn’t be how it has to be.
Maybe we could still be friends but I don’t think that’s possible now
So I’m saying goodbye; I’ll get over you somehow.
