Lyrics
Sometimes it will come without warning
Sometimes, difficulties arise suddenly without warning.
Take all the energy out of me
These difficulties drain my energy entirely.
And I become boring
As a result, I become uninteresting or dull.
Tired and cranky
I feel fatigued and irritable.
I'm just too hard to be around
I feel too challenging or difficult to be around.
The more I try
Despite my efforts,
The more I get cut down
I face criticism or rejection repeatedly.
And now I’m done trying and everyone left
Now, I've stopped making an effort, and everyone has left.
Even though I tried to bring you with me
I attempted to include others in my journey,
You said it was all about myself
But I was accused of being self-centered.
You just live your factory job
You are content with your routine job,
And I’m a loser when
While I feel inadequate in that context.
Held in that light
When seen from that perspective,
I just fail to be an adult in any way
I consistently fail to meet the expectations of being an adult.
I’ll never grow up
I express doubt about ever maturing.
Believe me I hear what they say
I acknowledge hearing the criticisms directed at me.
And then the silence
Following criticisms, the ensuing silence is disheartening.
Is even more disheartening
I usually try to ignore it, but it affects me regardless.
I generally phase it out
Despite efforts to ignore it,
But it will always come around eventually
These issues always resurface eventually.
I'm just too hard to be around
I feel too challenging or difficult to be around.
The more I try
Despite trying, I face repeated rejection or criticism.
The more I get cut down
Now, I've stopped trying, and everyone has departed.
And now I’m done trying and everyone left
The cycle of rejection or criticism has led to my withdrawal.
