Take Me Down

You say it with a smile
It’s not all that bad
We’ve all been through hell,
That were not all this sad

While my shoulder just sinks,
From the weight of the chip
And there’s nothing you can do
To reduce or lessen it

Tell me what you think of me
Tell me now
Tell me what I should’ve done,
Show me how
Do you think that you could’ve made it,
Say it aloud
Tell me what you think of me—take me down

It’s easy for you
To just knock me down
It’s easy to do
Since you weren’t around

You say I should change
Expand what I see
I’ve listened to too much to Cobain
And it’s getting to me

I’ll bet that you think you know what it takes for me to hide this
I’ll bet that you think you know even though you’ve never tried it
It’s all so easy to do, tell me don’t be silent
Just come and tell me now where you think I’ve been

I heard the words again
“We’ve all got our demons”
And you tell me I’m to blame,
Though even you could not beat them
