Screw You
You Were Supposed To Be My Safe Place
I'm the one you want
when there's no one else around
The kind that you call friend
until someone else you know, is found
Pretty good at conversation
as you keep looking over my shoulder
I should have learned my place and station
to known my place when I got older
I get invited to the party
stuck in the corner by myself
The weird one in the family
without a picture on the shelf
Don't have an answer to the question
exactly what it is I did
And if you want a true confession
I've been odd man out, since we were kids
I find myself saying, I'm sorry
when things begin to feel uncomfortable
I'm always the first one to get worried
don't want to be seen as, insufferable
I don't know where these feelings came from
and these days, I feel pissed off
Why do I need your affirmation
or care if or when you brush me off
I'm tired of being your understudy
feeling like I'm always in the way
mumbling under my breath, "just f me"
but those are the things I cannot say
