If you must remember this
 I'm only on the cusp of it
 I don't know why I am here
 I feel so out of place
 If you had a single thought
 That might be seen as negative
 I'll bet it was honest
 The subject was surely me.
 Understand that I was taught
 To tuck my thoughts and prayers away
 I saved them for someone
 And kept them from me
 I haven't had the kind of life
 To place upon a pedestal
 Don't lock steps beside me
 I surely will drag you down, down, down, down
 Oh, don't get to know me
 Let's all stay lonely
 Oh, don't get to know me
 Let's all stay lonely
 All you ever have to do is break a smile (Oh, don't get to know me)
 To take my breath away(Let's all stay lonely)
 My defenses are nothing
 When you come around
 I haven't had the kind of life that leads itself(Oh, don't get to know me)
 To fame or high regard(Let's all stay lonely)
 Don't lock steps beside me
 I surely will drag you down
