isolated and rejected
never wanted or accepted
they've thrown away their love for ignorance
pull my head up off my shoulders
burdened heavy as a boulder
thrown away for love of selflessness
 
is it the way i complement too much
is it the way i try to show i care
is it the way i take on way too much
or is it all because they take advantage of
 
my trust--is all gone
my love--has gone away
my empathetic connection
and unreturned affection
my time--was wasted
i'm fine and i'll face it
when your vanity proves to be
the fucking truth to set me free
 
free from caring and exposing
sensitivity and showing
the naive side others always hide
questioning the consequences
wondering why do i take chances
i never took the time for my own life
 
is it the way i complement too much
is it the way i try to show i care
is it the way i take on way too much
or is it all because they take advantage of
 
my trust--is all gone
my love--has gone away
my empathetic connection
and unreturned affection
my time--was wasted
i'm fine and i'll face it
when your vanity proves to be
the fucking truth to set me free
