I was told

I was told to stand up tall
when I felt like dropping to the ground
and when I wanted to scream for help
I was told to not make a sound

I was told that you'd be back
on a cold and lonley day
and that you would hold me
and take all the pain away

I was told to keep my mouth shut
when I felt like saying they were wrong
but the people that told me all this
never liked me all along

so my knees are getting kind of weak
I can't stand on them anymore
so I'm gonna take my own advice
and just drop to the floor

and I've already screamed for help
but all they seem to do is stare
so that was kind of a waste
since nobody really cared

and all of these days have been lonley
all of these days were cold
and you're still not here
so just screw what I was told!

and as for them being wrong...
well, it's all they ever were
so I AM gonna say it
and not keep quiet like before.
