Why should I bother
Telling you what's wrong
When in your eyes
I'm just an exaggerating
Attention seeking
Excuse making
Relapse sliding
Waster of a person

Despite my efforts
I just can't hide
The pain that's all
In my head
That's only a figment
Of my imagination
That's a manifestation
Of my irritation
That's my way of not doing
What I have been trying
To do
That doesn't keep me up at night

That doesn't make me cry inside
That doesn't make me feel too sick
That doesn't make me feel like shit
That doesn't take my breath away
That doesn't make me want to say
To hell with all you stupid people
Can't you see that I'm in pain?
Can't you see that I can't do the things I used to everyday?
When you look into my eyes
Don't you see the pain inside?
I'm doing all that I can do
I know I can't compare to you
You hurt yourself years ago
An though he hasn't it still shows
The moment I say somethings wrong
You both sing the same old song
So why should I open my mouth?
I know the words you'll throw about
Even the ones that you'll leave out
To secretly say when I'm not around

If I'm sick then so is he
If I'm hurt you're too busy
Regardless, you guys won't believe
That something might be wrong with me

It's been said so many times
So why should I even try?
I'm not sure that it's worth saying
Because of the games that you'll start playing
But I think I've hurt myself
If you don't believe me, go to hell
And let me say just once more thing
Go ahead you guys and sing!
