Array ( [sid] => 23080 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => I Don't Wanna Hear You Say I'm Everything I Hate [time] => 2003-09-11 17:05:00 [hometext] => I feel obliged to say that the first bit of the fifth stanza was inspired by Finger Eleven's "One Thing". The rest of it, well... it's just life. The parts my eyes were never opened to till now. [bodytext] => My nerves are shot
Love's become an afterthought
My edges are frayed
For release from this life, I've prayed

You've opened my eyes, and I'm not sure I like what I see
But you won't let me continue to walk through life carefree
I understand you can't always hold my hand
But I refuse to leave behind my dreamland
I'm scared I won't succeed well enough to satisfy you
And that I'll never be able to see your point of view
'Cause I've never had to hide the way I feel
But I guess to have your love, it's a fair deal

I'm losing heart
After so much time apart
But I'm standing strong
Because I've loved you all along

No one ever told me life wouldn't always be like this
That sometimes it's nothing more than a game of hit or miss
That one day I'd become everything I hate
And that love doesn't always cooperate
I wish I could go on pretending to be what I'm not
But it turns out I'm even more imperfect than I thought
You could tell me everything that's wrong with me
But no matter what you say I won't agree

I know it's true but
I don't wanna hear you say it 'cause
I hate the way it sounds
I know you're right but
I don't think they'll ever cure me 'cause
I'm too lost to be found
I know it's real but
I'd rather pretend it's not there 'cause
I'm crawling on the ground
I know it's true but
I don't wanna hear you say it 'cause
I hate the way it sounds

You've opened my eyes and I don't like what I see
Till now I've never had to hide the way I feel
No one told me life wouldn't always be so great
And that one day I'd become everything I hate [comments] => 2 [counter] => 143 [topic] => 21 [informant] => MoonlitAngel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )
