I did what I thought was right, And they came to hate me. I looked to you for comfort, And your look broke me.
I stood there, humble, And I bore my soul to them. I told them everything, And they laughed and they condemned Everything I was and everything I’d ever loved. I tried so hard to make them proud of what I had become.
I was forced into this by pride. (And forced out by the same.) I will admit some regret. (But confess no shame.) I only wanted a release. (But I never wanted this.) I should have foreseen. (What I will now never miss.)
My only crime was existing. For that I was thrown away. They’ll never love someone like me.
I came to you for solace, And you turned me away. So here I am alone again.
