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
