Please don't tell me
Meaningless words
You think I wanna hear.
Don't get hurt
When I prefer
To be on my own
Because I'm so used to it,
And like the others
You don't really care.

I'm so tired of repeating every word,
Of explaining everything more than once.
I just want to lay my head down
And dream of things yet to come
And search for some real meaning
In a meaningless and ugly world.

Don't ever try to change me,
It makes me more mad
And will keep me so out of reach.
Don't be such a smart ass
Because in the end
It will make me stay so far away
And I'm so glad to be on my own,
And just like the others
You won't ever understand.

I'm so tired of repeating every word,
Of explaining the thoughts that I keep.
I just want to sit here alone
And escape into the world I know.

When you're trying to chain me down
And turn me into something that I don't like,
You know it will only lead to a catastrophe.

So tired of repeating every word,
Of trying to express what I really feel.
All I really need is the sun, moon and stars
Because they will guide me to my final resting place
Where I can find some real meaning,
All I need is the real meaning,
You're like all the rest- so meaningless,
And I really need the real meaning.
