Shut Out

shut out for being different

Shut Out

Never felt like I was wanted
Tried so hard to be like me
No one seems to understand
I can't be like you,
Can't conform to your ways.

You keep shootin' and trippin'
Drinking your life away
Dreams fadin' from your eyes
You could've been so much more.

Never felt like I belonged
I was so different than the rest
Stickin' needles in their veins,
Fuckin' up their lives
Wasting away the days.

You keep shootin' and trippin'
Drinkin' your life away
Dreams fadin' from your eyes
You could've been so much more.

Never felt like this would end
Wasting away from all your lies
I can't keep up with your jive
You don't know me
And still you shut me out.

You keep shootin' and trippin'
Drinkin' your life away
Dreams fadin' from your eyes
You could've been so much more.

Never felt like I was wanted
Never felt like I belonged
Never felt like this would end
Dreams fadin' from your eyes
We could've been so much more.
