Tell me what is wrong,  
What is right.
Maybe I should keep it all hidden,
Tell only lies.
It works for other people,
But isn’t really me.
Why is being true to myself
Bringing only misery?

It should be simple,
Maybe even easy.
What I do should create a spark,
And with time connect our hearts.
It doesn’t work that way,
Something’s always missing.
What part of my approach,
Always sends me back fishing?

To try again is something
That everybody says.
They say do it differently
But they don’t seem to realize
If I change my way
I stop being me.

Tell me what is wrong,  
What is right.
No one can tell me,
They all say it’s individual.
But why is it not enough
My love unconditional?

Maybe I should keep it all hidden,
Tell only lies.
I used to tell so many,
But it was something I didn’t like.
Why should I go back
When I like my way of life?

It works for other people,
But isn’t really me.
Why is it I don’t work,
Am I really that hard to see?

Why is being true to myself
Bringing only misery?
Why is being myself
Bringing only misery?

I'm trying to find the answer to many things. They aren't coming and I'm getting tired of it. As said in this, everyone says it's individual, but that seems so lacking.

There seems to be no context in which I work.

Good guy, bad guy, or maybe even daft,
No one seems to like what only I have.

I'm hidden, hard to see, out of the way. Maybe that's why? Maybe because it takes effort? Maybe because it takes time?

Or maybe it just really, really is me?


Don't take this far too literally or read too much into it. I'm really just venting out my frustrations on what might be the cruelest thing mankind ever invented.

It is better to be hated for who you are, then loved for who you are not. Never asked "How hard can it get?" Fate has a great sense of humor.
