Sam's Song

Spoken Softly: “What is wrong with these people?
Why don't they see what a dork I am?
What an idiot I am? What a jerk I am?”

I know this sounds strange,
But the right words won’t arrange,
And I can’t wait my whole life,
I’m being held hostage with a knife.

And who I pretended to be,
It was never really like me,
I don’t understand why you can’t see,
The better person inside of me.

Why does everything turn out so wrong,
For someone whose always been so strong?
I can’t cry maybe I’m just too sad,
‘Cause things are all going bad.

The jerks that tease me a school,
I always found them cruel,
But now I’m starting to see,
They know the real side of me.

I hate the person in the mirror,
The reasons are still unclear,
I don’t understand why I can’t see,
The better person inside of me.

Why does everything turn out so wrong,
For someone whose always been so strong?
I can’t cry maybe I’m just too sad,
‘Cause things are all going bad.

Spoken with anger: “Now do you see what an idiot I am?”

Can’t count the times sorry was said,
But I can’t get the guilt out of my head,
Maybe ‘cause I don’t know the pain,
And all the trust I must regain.

No studies in anthropology,
Could give me the right apology,
I don’t understand why I can’t see,
The better person inside of me.

Why does everything turn out so wrong,
For someone whose always been so strong?
I can’t cry maybe I’m just too sad,
‘Cause things are all going bad.

Spoken with increasing emphasis for each phrase (not a quote): You aren't a dork, I am. You aren't an idiot, I am. You aren't a jerk. I am.
