I'm just the fool who carries the load,
Holding all of the baggage with nowhere to go,
Left to handle myself while the people laugh at me,
A one person circus who has no feelings.

Where is my standing ovation?
Can I be offered salvation?

I've cradled your fears but no one will hold me,
Dealing with something that's bigger than me,
Kicking and screaming as you drag me away,
I put up with stress for one extra day,

Now look what has happened again
Imprisoned without a friend

Washed away tears that people have cried,
Over breakups and disputes and people who've lied,
But when I need something  to cope with the pain,
I was beaten and forgotten and bruised with the shame,

Nobody fought for me
*Nobody thought about me
