I don't want your pity,
I want to be by myself.
I'll handle it the way I do best, quietly
Shove it away like a book on a shelf
Do not push me.
When I'm ready, I'll open up.
Let me handle this quietly
So shut the hell up.
You're whispering in my ear,
Let me do this my way
I don't want to be here.
If I need you, I'll ask you to stay.
Get outta my head,
I want to do this quietly.
I'll write about the tears I've shed,
So just let me be.
I don't need a shrink
To evaluate my head
Or tell me how to think
You'll never see the tears I shed.
You can stare into my eyes.
There'll be darkness booming,
You'll be looking at empty skies,
There may even be a stranger looming.
