Stop scolding me stop comparing me to her
Stop reminding me of all the things you wish I were
I know enough that I'm a monster, I'm not like other girls
I hurt everyone, but I am also hurt
If I don't cry, does that mean I don't matter?
To be loved, do I have to be weak?
I don't cry because I want to be the shoulder
For everyone to let it out and lean on me
I swear I know I'm a monster
I know that I hurt you
But can monsters one day start to matter?
Because they have feelings too...
