As far as I know
They may know of me
But they don't know the girl that I know

How they treat me and isolate me
They make me feel bad about myself
They make me feel all...

With one which is opposite of the other;

No big TV
Just you and I together 
And honesty

Not a single ear to hear
Except for our own
Let my words take you...

In the city, there are benches
Placed where people might
Relax and take a load off,
Which is everybody’s right.

They’re either made of metal
Or old-fashioned painted wood,
Found in parks and promenades or where

And girl, you’re the winner.

Delve...
