He Changed Me
He Changed Me
I'm hurt, I'm lonely, and of course I feel down.
You always turn everything I say inside-out and around.
I can’t sleep without hearing my heart pound and pound,
And you give me nightmares of being lost and then found.
I can’t look up without fearing to look down,
I spin out of control and crash on the ground.
You sit there and laugh and I don’t know what to do,
Being in your life has just got me so confused.
Help me is all I can think to say,
When you’ve got me here condensed and grey.
I wish I could change it, the way that I feel
With a push of a button, just change how I deal.
And you, you’re no help yourself, just putting me down.
In a time I need to be picked up, you drop me on the ground.
Do you even really care?
You never seem to be there.
I beg for help in my room alone and silent
Why do you get so violent?
And when you accuse me it’s hard to bare
I didn’t do anything, I swear..
Why do you hate me?
What did I ever do to you?
Why can’t anybody save me?
You must be drowning too.
It’s time to move on now, you’re not always perfect.
Just give it up now, just get a grip.
We’re no longer children, I can hit back
Why don’t you fear me, I swear, I’ll take a whack
Back off now, I’m getting angry
This feeling, I can no longer repeal,
I’ve waited far too long for you to see how I feel.
I’ll hit back, I’ll defend, I won’t deal with your fits of rage
Just because you're younger, doesn't mean I'll reguard your age.
Can’t explain what’s just come over me
No longer do I want to fight this,
You deserve what’s on your path.
There’s nothing more for me to say
You changed my mind
You changed my ways.
