That Was Just Me

When I was little I called the front And went to stand by the back Then I took the back seat of the bus And I got beaten for that Someone told me that I'm rich So I went and asked my dad I didn't feel bigger I just didn't belong And I always felt bad I guess that was just me I guess that was just me I guess that was just me I guess that was just me At school I was in a glass cage I knew I could not take part I was so lonely I was estranged from myself And that really broke my heart I guess that was just me I guess that was just me I guess that was just me I guess that was just me I watched my friend getting bullied on the bus And I came home in tears I fell into my mother's arms so broken Why do people get to mistreat a peer One night I saw a homeless man He was rummaging for cans And I started to cry for him I wanted to give him all I had I guess that was just me I guess that was just me I guess that was just me I guess that was just me Night and day become enmeshed As I became me unlike the rest I slowly started to invert my chest As cold steam threatened the fire on my crest I guess that was just me I guess that was just me I guess that was just me I guess that was just me Potential was always my middle name It was never what or how much I did That's how they praised me at teacher conferences Ever since I was a kid One time I was on a hike Miles on the soft sand I didn't believe I would make it And I realized I limit who I am I guess that was just me I guess that was just me I guess that was just me I guess that was just me Then I had an episode I'm hypo manic they said I just couldn't fall asleep So they put my potential to bed Since then I've struggled a lot Struggles I do not wish to mouth I made many bad choices And I was chewed up and spit out I guess that was just me I guess that was just me I guess that was just me I guess that was just me Night and day become enmeshed As I became me unlike the rest I slowly started to invert my chest As cold steam threatened the fire on my crest I guess this is just me I guess this is just me I guess this is just me I guess this is just me I guess this is just me I guess this is just me I guess this is just me I guess this is just me I guess this is just me I guess this is just me I guess this is just me I guess this is just me
