| I said please once I say
|
| It took me years of the truth
|
| To get off of my gut
|
| Please hear me out
|
| Understand what you hear
|
| To you I’m invisible
|
| It goes right in one ear
|
| And out the other
|
| What to express but you wouldn’t listen anyway
|
| Not as important as I wish that I could be
|
| Won’t you please listen to the stories of my every day
|
| I’m acting childishly
|
| And I’ll sit quietly
|
| I put out my feeling
|
| So why can’t they trade
|
| But the more that I try to
|
| The more that I hate
|
| All that I ask is just for some acknowledgment
|
| A little freedom is exactly what I need
|
| Some recognition for all of my accomplishments
|
| Which you won’t give to me
|
| And I so regularly
|
| I put out my feeling
|
| So why can’t they trade
|
| But the more that I try to
|
| The more that I hate (x2)
|
| And I act like there is nothing wrong
|
| Inside I know that I must be strong
|
| (quieter)so are you ashamed of me?
|
| Just because I’m not in your mold
|
| Never heard me all of my life
|
| You made me invisible
|
| So are you ashamed of me?
|
| Just because I’m not in your mold
|
| Never heard me all of my life
|
| You made me invisible (x2)
|
| So what I’m not in your mold
|
| I free, free to be
|
| What is this that I’ve made
|
| (my pain has made me so strong)
|
| I said please once I say
|
| It took me years of the truth
|
| To get off of my gut
|
| Please hear me out
|
| Understand what you hear
|
| To you I’m invisible
|
| It goes right in one ear
|
| And out the other
|
| I put out my feeling
|
| So why can’t they trade
|
| But the more that I try to
|
| The more that I hate
|
| When you look in my eyes
|
| And say you understand
|
| When I know deep inside
|
| That you don’t give a damn |
