Away From Me


Take away the pain from me
Shelter the world away from me
I'm not safe, keep back from me
You don't know what I'll do to me

My friends, they won't come close to me
For fear I will not act like me
They know that I am supposed to be me
But why are they so far away from me?

All I have to offer is me
They say "it isn't good enough for me"
The ignorance, the lies, is all they give me
And all this mounts up on top of me

You take away my friends from me
Lock away the world from me
I'm not safe, you say that to me
I don't know what you'll do to me
