Why Can't I?
 

You tell me I can't feel this way
You say I can't be depressed
But what do you know about me
All you saw was the way I dressed

I met you for about five days
And you thought you new everything
You thought I was just a child
A very talented one, that could sing

But when I told you the truth
All you could do was deny
When I told you I was serious
You thought I was one big lie

You said you understood where I was coming from
And you said you had been there before
You said you used to starve yourself
And that you didn't do it anymore

You said you realized the pain of it all
And told me I should be ashamed
I was just a child, What did I know
Well atleast thats what you claimed

You said I didn't have it hard
And that I should look around me
Then I looked at you, ashamed
And asked "Is this what I will be?"

I said I don't want to be like you
Blaming others for their mistakes
Because you don't know underneath it all
You dont know how their heart aches

I told you that I was depressed
I trusted you not to tell
But ever since I made that mistake
You have made my life a living hell

I still can't believe you said that to me
I thought that you out of all people would understand
But life isnt hard for you
Because it went just the way you planned

You thought you had won
You thought that you made me cry
But I still have one question for you
"Why can't I?"
