Take me

by Mild insomnia   Sep 15, 2004


I tried so hard to be,
Every single thing,
That you want me to be.
Put in extra hours,
Became your princess,
How could you forget?

I gave up my life,
To satisfy yours,
Just one great big lie,
To stop all the wars.

I can't stand the shouting,
It's driving me mad,
How can I win,
When I'm so bad?
Just take me away,
To hell if so,
Take me today,
Please, just let me go.

My friends say I'm different,
I know I have changed,
I can tell I'm not the same.
But you haven't noticed,
Still think I'm not good,
And I just wish that you would...

I'm running circles,
Changing everything,
Jumping these hurdles,
To clear me of sin.

Why can't you accept me?
Am I so wrong?
Why try change me?
You know I'm not that strong.
Just take me away,
To hell if so,
Take me today,
Please, just let me go.

I'm sick of this game,
And I'm sorry to say,
that I can't live this way,
Somebody take me away.
All the kindness I've shown,
I still stand on my own,
In such ways I've grown,
Done it all on my own.

Tell me what I can change,
There's nothing left,
I'm not the same, and yet still second best.
Just take me away,
To hell if so,
Take me today,
Please, just let me go.
