That Was Just Me

When I was little I called the front
And went to stand by the back
Then I took the back seat of the bus
And I got beaten for that
Someone told me that I'm rich
So I went and asked my dad
I didn't feel bigger I just didn't belong
And I always felt bad

I guess that was just me
I guess that was just me
I guess that was just me
I guess that was just me

At school I was in a glass cage
I knew I could not take part
I was so lonely I was estranged from myself
And that really broke my heart

I guess that was just me
I guess that was just me
I guess that was just me
I guess that was just me

I watched my friend getting bullied on the bus
And I came home in tears
I fell into my mother's arms so broken
Why do people get to mistreat a peer
One night I saw a homeless man
He was rummaging for cans
And I started to cry for him
I wanted to give him all I had

I guess that was just me
I guess that was just me
I guess that was just me
I guess that was just me

Night and day become enmeshed
As I became me unlike the rest
I slowly started to invert my chest
As cold steam threatened the fire on my crest

I guess that was just me
I guess that was just me
I guess that was just me
I guess that was just me

Potential was always my middle name
It was never what or how much I did
That's how they praised me at teacher conferences
Ever since I was a kid
One time I was on a hike
Miles on the soft sand
I didn't believe I would make it
And I realized I limit who I am

I guess that was just me
I guess that was just me
I guess that was just me
I guess that was just me

Then I had an episode
I'm hypo manic they said
I just couldn't fall asleep
So they put my potential to bed
Since then I've struggled a lot
Struggles I do not wish to mouth
I made many bad choices
And I was chewed up and spit out

I guess that was just me
I guess that was just me
I guess that was just me
I guess that was just me

Night and day become enmeshed
As I became me unlike the rest
I slowly started to invert my chest
As cold steam threatened the fire on my crest

I guess this is just me
I guess this is just me
I guess this is just me
I guess this is just me

I guess this is just me
I guess this is just me
I guess this is just me
I guess this is just me

I guess this is just me
I guess this is just me
I guess this is just me
I guess this is just me
