Parents, friends, enemies, too,
Always telling me what to do.
I’ve been down this road before,
I never did ask for more.
Broken and battered, I watch everything pass me by.
I no longer can hold my head high.
Your words cut like a razor blade,
I’m not the person you wish I made.
This is me, who I am.
I won’t let anyone take that again.
Love me not for what I’m not,
Don’t pretend like you forgot.
Love me please for who I am,
Or I’m afraid I’ll never speak to you again.
