This is not my world, this is not my day Why can't I just run away? I'll never come back, never be in your way You'll never have to worry about my stupid, ugly face. Here I go, watch me leave But for some reason you won't let me. If you keep me here, I'll never be free. Free, free, free I'll never be free Always trapped, never to be me In a cage, waiting to eat, Waiting to leave... I sit here and watch you thrive Meanwhile I'm just trying to survive, I'm dying here on the inside. No one cares to see me crying, No one cares if I'm OK But I'm not OK, I can't be, not this way. A million things crowd my mind and not even I can get inside. I can't sort, can't organize and that's the way I stay alive. I feel like you want me gone, so I try to go But he don't want to let me go I'm trying, I promise, I'm trying to stay But that's not what I feel you say. Freedom from you is all I desire Freedom to set forth my inner fire To do as I please, To live and be me Uncage me, I beg of you. But I can't be free, not with you You, the burden I bear, The mistake for now I must care and how I wish you weren't here. Go, go, just go away Go to who wants you, go today. Someone out there is waiting, hey, Little monster, you're insane. Throw a pillow on my head and wait to drown you out while I suffocate yet I still hear you do it doesn't work. Every noise you make makes me bezerk! This pillow's so stuffed I'm stuffed Because of you I've had enough, because of you I feel so stuffed that I'm starting to feel like a dead duck. Is that okay with you? Or shall I just be skewered? EAT ME! Like a piece of venison, deer meat Here I am, mother of Bambi Here for the taking, ready. My brain ain't here and yet I am Tell him what's wrong, I wish I can. I can't keep doing this sh, Can't keep putting up with this I wasn't made for this, not cut out for it. Your crying and screaming drive me insane Extra blood pumping through my veins. I've always been that way, Its always done this to me anyway. I know that I could use the help, Know I can't do this by myself. So here I am, begging, knowing I'm alone Without him I don't wanna be at home.
