Carried Away
Embracing Individuality: Carried Away
Lyrics
It is not a lack of empathy
There's no absence of empathy in me
I’m just wired a little differently
My thought processes and emotions are different
It's not that I feel like I have a choice
I don't feel like I have a choice
‘Cause I am married to the noise
I am deeply connected to the chaos or noise
So let it all come down on me,
I'm ready to face whatever consequences come my way
I’m not what you make me out to be
I'm not the person you perceive me to be
I can't change the ones around me
I cannot change those around me
And neither can they change me
They can't change who I am either
But when it all comes down
When everything happens
You can get carried away
One can become overly involved or obsessed
It’s all I ever wanted, So I won’t be daunted
This is what I always desired, so I won't be discouraged
In the good times, In the bad times
In both good and bad times
You can get carried away
One can become overly involved or obsessed
Please be understanding, I know that I am demanding
Please try to understand; I realize I can be demanding
A lot of patience, Appreciation
I require a lot of patience and acknowledgment
But that’s a part of me
This behavior is an integral part of who I am
It's just a matter of priorities
It's about what I prioritize, and that's what separates us
And that's the difference between you and me
The difference between us is in our priorities
I can’t help to follow my aspirations
I can't help but pursue my ambitions
So I’m not asking for salvation
I'm not seeking redemption or saving
It’s always the same complaints
There's a recurring pattern of criticisms
I’m never with you to maintain
I'm never present enough for you to maintain a connection
A certain kind of connection
Perhaps that's due to my flaws or imperfections
But that just might be my imperfection
To disappoint them
Let them down
-Let them down
-I will let them down,
When I become excessively involved or obsessed
When I get carried away
This is what I always desired, so I won't be discouraged
It’s all I ever wanted, So I won’t be daunted
In both good and bad times
In the good times, In the bad times
One can become excessively involved or obsessed
You can get carried away
Please try to understand; I realize I can be demanding
Please be understanding, I know that I am demanding
I require a lot of patience and acknowledgment
A lot of patience, Appreciation
This behavior is an integral part of who I am
But that’s a part of me
This is what I always desired, so I won't be discouraged
It’s all I ever wanted, So I won’t be daunted
In both good and bad times
In the good times, In the bad times
One can become excessively involved or obsessed
You can get carried away
This is what I always desired, so I won't be discouraged
It’s all I ever wanted, So I won’t be daunted
In both good and bad times
In the good times, In the bad times
One can become excessively involved or obsessed
You can get carried away
Please try to understand; I realize I can be demanding
Please be understanding, I know that I am demanding
I require a lot of patience and acknowledgment
A lot of patience, Appreciation
This behavior is an integral part of who I am
But that’s a part of me
