I Will Tell You Why (Demo)

lyrics

VERSE 1
This it would seem is something we're doomed to repeat
Until the end of time
You wont rest until you know that your task is complete
Until you know that I'm

A carbon copy of your perfect mind
You wont rest until I'm one of your kind
But

CHORUS (main)
I will tell you why
Oh yes I will tell you
Thanks for the warnings on my mental health
But there's nothing to gain by losing myself
So you might as well leave me up here on the shelf
Where I belong

VERSE 2
So many times that I've bin labeled the fool
Because I disagree
With all the "sincere" and "helpful" advice of your rules
Of how I really should be

Now I don't expect you to understand
As ignorance and arrogance go hand in hand
But

CHORUS (main)
I will tell you why
Oh yes I will tell you
Thanks for the warnings on my mental health
But there's nothing to gain by losing myself
So you might as well leave me up here on the shelf
Where I belong

VERSE 3
I don't know why you expect my to follow the crowd
And dig the latest trends
Why is it wrong to express my opinions allowed
Why should I have to pretend

So I impress your friends who would cast me away
for my looks, my character or something I'd say

CHORUS (altered)
Alone I can be myself
Not disown a part of my
Self is important for my peace of mind
Though I value your friendship I'm much more inclined
To those who except me than those who are blind
Of who I am

VERSE 1and CHORUS (main) repeat
