Did I come here for peace, for pleasure, for pride?
Did I try to escape where often I've cried?
Did I want a new life, to start fresh and anew?
Did I hope to be somebody nobody knew?
Did I think I would like more people, more work?
Did I think I'm so smart, how could I be such a jerk?

You'd think that I'd know that I'd never fit in
You'd think I'd've learned that I rarely will win
You'd think that I'd know there are problems I can't hide
You'd think that I'd stop trying to be let inside
You'd think I'd keep out of water when I cannot swim
You'd thinks I would see that my prospects are dim

But I always keep going, no beating's enough
If inward I'm weak, then outside I'm tough
If something's my fault, you'll never see a tear
If I'm not ready to trust you, you'll never see my fears
If you are in pain you won't know that I ache
I'd give you comfort and ignore the heartbreak.
Now that you know me, on inside and out
Have a nice day, I'll see you about.
