Simply Me

I was so depressed,
And now that I'm smiling again,
You don't even seem to care.
I thought I was ok for a while,
But now it seems as though I'm a failiure,
Once again.
And my tears fall to the ground,

Mascara runs down my face.
I just wanna scream,
Maybe someone will hear me,
And listen to my cries.
Now my music is blasting through the walls,
I'm hoping it will send a message,
As my cries seem to go unheard.

When I'm home things are different,
And when I'm away I find myself smiling again.
I'm two different personalities,
But just to let you know I don't wanna be,
Just tryin' to be me.
Now don't get me wrong,
My family's been good to me,
But sometimes they just don't see.

Here I am again,
I just wish you would listen,
And I feel like my words are muted.
I just want to be simply me.
Can't you see?
And I wanna be Momma and Daddy's girl,
But sometimes I gotta be simply me.

And as I run away from home,
I turn around and see you screaming,
Please come back.
I think that's all I wanted,
Was to know that someone wanted me,
for simply me.
