Youve lived a haunted life
Tried to imagine how Id feel
If I was thrown into the public eye
Before my wounds had healed
The way you flashed us with your scars and told about your rules
Like we were students in your how-to-be-dramatic little school
Now I can understand how
After all that youve been through
Youd lock yourself inside
Waiting for us to come and rescue you
But what I cant fathom is
While imprisoned in yourself
You wouldnt ever take a look around
Just blame everyone else
Pulling the look-at-me-Im-hurt card
Got you friends that wouldnt dare
Question any little tantrum
No, halfwaythey would meet you there
Your lover fears your reactions
Hes like a puppy on a leash
He doesnt tread outside your boundaries
Without saying please
Now I can understand how
Youd be scared to trust again
Seeing how fame would be a magnet
For attention-seeking friends.
But what I cant fathom is
If your friends lie to keep you calm
You wouldnt ever ask yourself
Who they got that idea from
I could be scared of you
I would cater to your needs
Your dominating ways, my overwhelming fear of conflict feeds
But I learned not to get involved
By admitting more about myself
Takes one to know one honey, trust me take a look inside yourself
