Lyrics

Hard news, taken harder, don't look to me

Disappointed, we don't agree, I don't need your praise

From the beginning you came to me

Never asked you to like me

I don't want your praise

Look down on me, spit in my face

You're nothing to me, not to me

Darkened eyes you'll see

There is no hope, no savior in me

Learned from years gone by, no one will care

What happens to me

My presence won't be ignored, no not today

Don't walk in my direction, turn the other way

From the beginning you came to me

Asking questions, predetermined answers

You won't find them here

And I don't want you, I won't let you think

Compromise is near 'cause it's not near

Darkened eyes you'll see

There is no hope, no savior in me

Learned from years gone by, no one will care

What happens to me, I'm alone in here

No more feelings, Killed my fears

Don't ask you'll never know

You're left behind and I'll be exposed

Far away, you keep on trying

Holding me down, breaking away

Trying to distance my life

Not one in the crowd, but one with the answer

The one that can change your mind

But it's not true, I don't need you

Don't waste your time and don't waste mine

I'm not your friend, I won't soothe your soul

And in the end you're all dead to me
