|
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. |
