i feel like expectations are always running high

i can't stand anymore tension

i try to do what i feel is right

they say "you're out of your mind"

i'm losing myself on the inside

i'm tired of all these stereotypes

"leave me alone" i scream

"i'm just a child."

i can't handle it.

they say "set a better example"

so i try.

but i'm always in the wrong

and i know i'm not liked

do you even care?

do you see me over there?

i'm bleeding.

your words are the knife

i feel myself draining

my heart is thumping to the sound of you leaving

your eyes see right through my disguise

you're twisted, we both know it

you want to hurt me

please, go ahead.

i'm already broken

here are my wrists

come and take me.

what do i have left to lose?

won't you tell me?

your expectations are winning.
