I said please once I say It took me years of the truth To get off of my gut Please hear me out Understand what you hear To you I'm invisible It goes right in one ear And out the other What to express but you wouldn't listen anyway Not as important as I wish that I could be Won't you please listen to the stories of my every day I'm acting childishly And I'll sit quietly I put out my feeling So why can't they trade But the more that I try to The more that I hate All that I ask is just for some acknowledgement A little freedom is exactly what I need Some recognition for all of my accomplishments Which you won't give to me And I so regularly I put out my feeling So why can't they trade But the more that I try to The more that I hate [x2] And I act like there is nothing wrong Inside I know that I must be strong [quieter] so are you ashamed of me? Just because I'm not in your mold Never heard me all of my life You made me invisible So are you ashamed of me? Just because I'm not in your mold Never heard me all of my life You made me invisible [x2] So what I'm not in your mold I free, free to be What is this that I've made (my pain has made me so strong) I said please once I say It took me years of the truth To get off of my gut Please hear me out Understand what you hear To you I'm invisible It goes right in one ear And out the other I put out my feeling So why can't they trade But the more that I try to The more that I hate When you look in my eyes And say you understand When I know deep inside That you don't give a damn.
