I need you to go away

I am tired, you’re causing too much pain

Is it so hard to see me as a person, too

Even I deserve to be allowed my say

 

I need you to give me space

I beg of you to stop making my legs shake

Do you not know that I have feelings, too

Don’t understand me, fine, give me a break

 

Why do I scream when I make no sound

Why should I dream if you refuse to come around

I envy those who have it figured out

We are falling out and I am falling down

 

Why do I try, you seem safe and sound

Why should I care, I’ll just give up and I’ll drown

I am blind, I can see no way out

We are falling out and I am falling down

 

Am I branded forever a fool

Too dramatic, a waste of precious light of day

But even you can tell when I am serious, even you

Even you know I mean every word I say

 

Don’t tell me to shut up

I am tired of you, I’ve had enough

You’re not the only one, I’m a person, too

Please stop yelling at me, I don’t want to stop

 

Why do I scream when I make no sound

Why should I dream if you refuse to come around

I envy those who have it figured out

We are falling out and I am falling down

 

Why do I try, you seem safe and sound

Why should I care, I’ll just give up and I’ll drown

I am blind, I can see no way out

We are falling out and I am falling down

 

I never asked, it’s not by choice

That I am stuck fighting where you caged me

I was gone before

If you don’t want me anymore

I’ll be glad to be gone again and free

 

Why do I scream

I know I’ll make no sound

Why should I dream

If you won’t let me off the ground

I envy

Those with their heads still in the clouds

I am stuck in hell

And still falling south

 

Why do I try

You seem so safe and sound

Why should I care

It’s so much easier to drown

I wish I

Could fly away, could break out

We’re still falling out

I’m still falling down
