why me?

I'm the one
Always in the dark
Your words fill the space
To everyone but me
You're too afraid to say it to my face

I just want to know
What did I ever do to you?
You've hated my guts since we were kids
And now you spread lies

Lies spread like wildfire
Before too long it'll be too big to control
I don't want to die in the flames
I did nothing to deserve it

So why me?
Why the things you say?
I don't think I can do this
Anymore, everything is too much
I want it all to stop
Just make it stop

We all go through something
So why are you attacking me?
You only do it when I'm weak
Why kick me when I'm down?
Is it because I'm not strong enough to fight back?
Does it make you feel good?
Does it make you feel strong?

They say you're just jealous
What did you have to be jealous of?
They say words can never hurt
They were so wrong
But, darling, don't let them see your frown
Kill 'em with kindness
Even as you wonder, why me?
