like a beauty magazine you make me feel bad about myself
and like the devil you lead me closer and closer to hell
and I can never seem to escape, I'm trapped like an animal
held back by chains, you make me feel insignificantly small
you make me feel unloved, so unimportant to everyone
my self esteem is always dropping and soon it will be gone
cause you are the one who was good at everything you do
loved by everyone and you never let me forget that it's true
chorus
and I'm just the one standing in the rain
nothing to shelter me from all of that pain
cause you just stomp on me like a stone
and I just got used to being on my own
but don't you understand even a little bit
that I am not your punching bag that you can hit
like a lion you pounce on me when you feel like it
and I just keep taking more and more of your shit
you are always telling me all the good things people say
about how much they love you and you repeat it every day
and it makes me feel so horrible about myself all the time
and the feelings linger on, I can't seem to leave them behind
a hurt the size of California lives inside my heart
don't realize that you just keep tearing me apart
chorus
you tell me what to do
you treat me like I'm dumb
like I can't take care of myself
and I want to turn the other way and run
chorus
Very well done...expresses feelings I can relate to.
