They Made Me This Way
I face the familiar stares
The thoughtless cares
Turning my back willingly
To the harsh words meant for me
But I can’t pay the cost
I feel so lost
As if every move I make
Every step I take
Brings me one step further away
From home
It’s him, and her, and them, and they
They made me this way
This is all because
Of what they say
It’s all because
I’m willing to defray
Their familiar stares
And thoughtless cares
That all rubbed me the wrong way
It’s their familiar stares
The thoughtless cares
That ended my day
Their familiar stares
And thoughtless cares
That I obey
It’s the familiar stares
The thoughtless cares
That made me this way
