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
