Why Bother Us

So we've talked already once
 about how this isn't us
We thought we could make this work
 but I won't at the expense of changing us
I don't feel this is because of us
 we aren't the one that judged or went digging
We feel this is because of them
 we bit our tongue
 and held it in
But what good did it do
Now they think I should maybe get help
 they didn't come to us
 they took it above
And now everyone looks at me differently
Why can't people just let us be
 and not judge me
I'm different
I'm a outcast 
 we know
But why must you bother us
 when we leave you alone
