The Truth You Can'T Ignore

Somebody once called me mad And I thought that it made me the hatter Somebody once called me ugly And I thought that it made me a swan Somebody once called me psycho And I thought I was making a path But somebody once called me happy And I realized where I went wrong When somebody points out your imperfections It's often easier to act like they don't exist Blame it on somebody's jealousy All the ugly truth; you can resist But when somebody says that you're perfect Or you're happy, when you know you are not The feeling that boils up inside of you Will kill you and leave you to rot
