Slave

Look at me, I’m a slave
Of a feeling
I’ll have none, I have no right
I can’t feel

I’ve been wrong, it is true
I will not deny
But would you stop? It’s enough
Stop raising this fire

I’ll pretend I’m not hurt
When you don’t hear me
I will smile 
‘cause I don’t want you to fear me

I will sit
and look down
Totally misunderstood
With no right
For I’m wrong
I’ll be punished for good

And I only want to make you happy
You are before, I swear, I swear
Why don’t you believe?
Why don’t you believe me?

Now I shall
Express no pain
Or you’ll leave me

How dare I feel pain 
With all the things I’ve done 
And the bad I’ve been, 
How dare I?

I will sit and look down
The way it must be
And while I
Stand for you
You will not stand for me

And I only want to make you happy
You are before, I swear, I swear
Why don’t you believe?
Why don’t you believe me?

Why don’t you believe me?
Why don’t you believe?
Why don’t you believe me?
Why don’t you believe?
