Cheat Me - Dogwood
I am
Now what you seem
I don't answer to you
Please understand what I mean
While it gives me a thrill
It's all I can do
You realize that's it's all for you
This is the part
Where you're supposed to be proud
I'd listened to reason
But he's yelling too loud
It's not important
Alive for a year
Love and acceptance
No one wants to hear me
Want to talk about it
Or want to be around it
Or want to be the one to
Give you my life
It's not yours to take
You were my hero
But your motives are fake
Ten thousand people
Divided by one
And even still I have just begun
A struggle to grasp
All the knowledge at hand
I'd listen to wisdom
But he quit the band
Now what is left
Only a few
Look in the mirror
And see that it's you
Who wants to talk about it
Who wants to be around it
Who wants to be the one to say
Just walk away
Not left for me to say
I've overstayed my welcome here
In a perfect world this song wouldn't be
A man is lost
That man is me
I'm dragging my feet
I'm falling behind
You follow my pain and my mind
A voyeur to thought
My guest for today
I open my arms
To see you running away
It's not over yet
I'm afraid it gets worse
We all have to give in
And I'll be the first
To want to talk about it
To want to be around it
To want to be the one to
Say
Just walk away
Not left for me to say
I've overstayed my welcome here
No
