I like it here
Some might disagree
But being alone is what I do best
I'm my own favorite company
You ask me why, I tell you because
You ask me when, I tell you sometime
I heard you asked if I was ok
Please tell her I am fine
I know you think I'm strong and hard
Maybe, somehow, you're right
But I'm human like everyone else
I can't look directly into the light
When no one's paying attention
And the lights are turned down low
My tears come just like yours
I tend to cry when life get too slow
I know you don't understand me
I understand why you don't
It's hard for me to talk about this
Because I don't see your acceptance in the forefront
My life seems so unreal
Hell, it is to an extent
I know I get everything I want
But I hate living in this defense
You know, I see you with her
And I can't help but notice
How you connect so well
I'm trying hard to get over this
It's ok, I'll be fine
My scars make me strong
What don't kill me won't hurt me either
So why does it feel so wrong?
