You say I worry too much, I over-think things just a touch, well I think…
You can analyze me, and tell me what you think I need
To be more socially acceptable, well I don’t see the appeal
So this is who I am and I reject your standards
I never cared to fit in with your vapid friends
I’d rather be alone than subject myself to your so-called “fun”
You need it to have a good time but I won’t trick my mind, live a lie
I won’t try to pretend because there’s no one I need to impress
You just want to escape and always feel ok
But that’s a fantasy, who ever told you that life was easy?
I still feel pain but I’ve seen what people do to get a fix to make it go away
And all the extra struggles that creates, no fucking thanks!
I’d rather be by myself
I value genuine bonds but this substitute drug-culture offers can’t satisfy
It’s more alienating to be around than it is to be by myself
