Lyrics
Taken back I've lost myself
Feeling like I've lost my identity
Never really had myself just bones
Never truly felt like I had substance, just existence
Locked inside a shell
Emotionally withdrawn and enclosed
Never really had a chance
Didn't have opportunities
Never really held my own
Didn't establish my own ground
Never had a reason to say no
Never had a reason to refuse or set boundaries
Locked inside a shell
Continued emotional isolation
Don't wanna be a good boy
Rejecting societal expectations of being obedient
Don't wanna feel special
Uninterested in feeling unique or different
Don't want your love
Not seeking your affection
Don't want your lies
Rejecting deceitful behavior or false assurances
Don't wanna be
Rejecting conformity or societal norms
Don't wanna be a good boy
Continued refusal of societal expectations
Don't wanna be good
Rejecting the notion of being inherently good
Don't wanna be a good boy
Continued rejection of societal norms
You are the enemy
Seeing the other person as a foe
And you are my world
Considering the person significant despite the conflict
Deep inside this empty mind you own
Feeling like the person has a profound influence on my thoughts
Locked inside a shell
Emotionally withdrawn and enclosed (reiteration)
Never really had a chance
Didn't have opportunities (reiteration)
Never really held my own
Didn't establish my own ground (reiteration)
You always had control
Feeling that the other person always had power over me
Don't wanna be a good boy
Rejecting societal expectations of being obedient (reiteration)
Don't wanna feel special
Uninterested in feeling unique or different (reiteration)
Don't want your love
Not seeking your affection (reiteration)
Don't want your lies
Rejecting deceitful behavior or false assurances (reiteration)
Don't wanna be
Rejecting conformity or societal norms (reiteration)
Don't wanna be a good boy
Continued refusal of societal expectations (reiteration)
Don't wanna be good
Rejecting the notion of being inherently good (reiteration)
Don't wanna be a good boy
Continued rejection of societal norms (reiteration)
You put me in the dog house
Feeling relegated or punished by the other person
You will keep me there for life
Expectation of being continuously controlled or confined
I should've known better
Regret for not recognizing the situation earlier
I should've known better
Repeated regret for not understanding sooner
All you really wanted was control
Realization that the other person's primary desire was dominance
I should've known
Regret for not realizing this earlier
Don't wanna be a good boy
Rejecting societal expectations of being obedient (reiteration)
Don't wanna feel special
Uninterested in feeling unique or different (reiteration)
Don't want your love
Not seeking your affection (reiteration)
Don't want your lies
Rejecting deceitful behavior or false assurances (reiteration)
Don't wanna be
Rejecting conformity or societal norms (reiteration)
Don't wanna be a good boy
Continued refusal of societal expectations (reiteration)
Don't wanna be good
Rejecting the notion of being inherently good (reiteration)
Don't wanna be a good boy
Continued rejection of societal norms (reiteration)
Don't wanna be a good boy
Continued refusal of societal expectations (reiteration)
Don't wanna be good
Rejecting the notion of being inherently good (reiteration)
Don't wanna be
Continued rejection of societal norms (reiteration)
Don't wanna be a good boy
Continued refusal of societal expectations (reiteration)
