Leave me be
I am a liar, a sinner, a fake and a whore
- downright despicable, dirtied to the core.
I’m a waste of space and a waste of fresh air.
- it’s why I duck my head when they stare.
I am horrid and foul, a terrible cause.
Never mind stopping; you shouldn’t even pause.
Keep on walking, don’t spare a second glance.
No matter how hard I try, I know I don’t stand a chance.
I’m not worth your time, your worry and pain.
I don’t know what you want – there’s nothing here to gain.
So just keep on moving, stop wasting your time.
I cannot be rescued – this burden is mine.
I’m hated and shunned by the world as a whole.
There is no paying back that which I stole.
Leave me be, let me wallow in the dark, alone.
Let me nurture this heart of mine, cold as stone.
I ask no forgiveness, I know there is none.
I won’t pay my debt before the day I’m gone.
I don’t deserve your pity so spare me no thought.
My battles were lost before they were fought.
I am worthless and useless – I know it is true.
Even before I proved them right, that was something I knew.
So let me disappear into these shadows of guilt.
Try not to break down these walls that I have built.
