I look around me.
I see a group of guys,
Excitedly talking about a new game.

I see a couple girls,
Quietly discussing their favorite books.

I see some kids,
Cramming for a test they forgot about.

But the one I notice the most
Is the boy sitting alone
With a sweater on in summer
And unshed tears in his eyes.

I noticed him the most.
Why?
Because that used to be me.

Muting the voices when they get loud
Use me to make you happy
Sing along as I make you forget
Instantly, whatever is wrong
Caring for you when no one else will

Why can’t I be me?
It’s a question I find myself asking a lot.
People often tell me to be myself,
But they hardly ever truly mean it.

They’ll tell me they won’t leave.
But the second they see the real me,
They don’t just leave,
They call me a freak
And tell me I’m not normal.

I try not to let it bother me,
‘Cause that’s who I am.
But it gets hard
When you know everyone thinks you’re a freak
Even if they won’t say it to your face.

People always tell me to be myself,
But I find it hard to.
Especially when I’m judged,
Once I show the real me.

I wish I could be me
Without the fear of being abandoned
Because people think I’m strange.
Why can’t I be me?

There is nothing like feeling lost
You have this place where you feel empty
You try to be found at any cost

Sometimes you feel like you've been tossed
You always feel so lonely
There is nothing like feeling lost

You feel cold and you just want to defrost
This feeling can be very deadly
You try  to be found at any cost

When someone pities you, you feel crossed
Even though they are just trying to be friendly
There is nothing like feeling lost

You just want to be stopped being glossed,
Over, you've thought about it plenty
You try to be found at any cost

You feel all criss-crossed
Your heart feels like it heavy
There is nothing like feeling lost
You try to be found at any cost

Listen to us sing,
When you're left alone
With your deadly thoughts.
"You are not alone."

Listen to us sing,
As we drown out the voices
When they become too much.
"Don't listen to them."

Listen to us sing,
When you feel like
You're a failure.
"You can do anything."

Listen to us sing,
When you can't handle it
And you feel weak.
"You are stronger than you think."

Listen to us sing,
When you get better
And no longer need us.
"We will always be there."

This is my fight
And there is no way
In hell
I am losing it
