You look at me and see something wrong,
Is it your place to say where I belong?
Who was here first, was it me or you?
I don’t need you telling me what to do.

Don’t tell me shit.

Have you walked a mile in these tennis shoes,
Suicide surround you while you sing the blues.
Do you walk at night alone in despair,
You don’t go where I go, but I can take you there.

Don’t tell me shit.

Are my eyes still to cloudy, swear I can’t see,
Judge all my actions, instead of just me.
What’s behind closed doors, hidden in my eye,
You don’t understand, you don’t want to die.

Don’t tell me shit.

I’m a void of darkness, I run in my sleep,
I’m carrying a secret, I just can’t keep.
The more it comes closer the more I realize,
I’m in over my head, and I can’t reach the sky.

Don’t tell me shit.

So don’t get to close, or you’ll walk on glass,
From the shattered dream that wasn’t meant to last.
Cause there’s no hope for me, it’s already been to long,
Just let me survive, til I can no longer hold on.

Don’t tell me shit.
