Differences Between Me and You
Why I had to be the screw-up, I don't even know,
It doesn't make much sense to me, but here I go.
Because I'm shy and don't talk as much,
Because I avoid everyone's touch,
Because I walk alone instead of in pairs,
Because I ignore other people's stares,
Because I stay up all night and it shows in my face,
Because at times, it seems I disappear without trace,
Because I avoid drugs for my own good,
Because I look at you as I wish you could,
Because I have a different take on reality,
Because everything I do doesn't have to end in fatality,
Because I'm not 'seeing' someone new every other day,
Because I don't always dress the exact same way,
Because I don't need make-up to make myself feel pretty,
Because I don't want to live in a big city,
Because I don't make myself look stupid to fit in,
Because I don't always play to win.
Everything I do brings the world to an end,
Because I can't be you, I'm not fit to be your friend.
