As I walk by you're forced to embrace the precarious smile which lies on my face a quick second glance, as you roll your eyes the things I've "done now" will be no big surprise. You've repeated the rumors, believed all of the lies Heard all of the stories, seen all of the guys Yet never bothered to ask me if anything was true And so I'm left in the middle, not sure what to do. Those I thought to be friends have again proved me wrong- These bonds that have broken were the ones I thought strong So again, turn your head to tell someone new About all of the bad things that you heard I do. "That girl is pathetic." "That girl is just dumb." And to your rude comments I quickly succumb I'm so sick of the tears and all of the games All I want is a life that's not filled with shame. I hold my head high, but quickly it falls Left alone, wondering if it's worth it at all But each time I find strength and I keep walking by, I hold up my head while inside I cry. Today is a new day, and rumours will spread But I'll try not to worry, it won't get me ahead I'll let others think the things that they see Because as long as I know the truth, you won't ruin me.
