Hush

Who says my time is up
Who says my light is out
Why do they hang around
Why do I have to shout?

My simple days they're slipping away
And I'm stuck in here trying to get away
From all the eyes that are looking at me
And they're speaking in tongues
And I don't know what they mean
I don't know what they mean

Why can't I just belong
What did I do wrong
Your words cut me like a knife
Give me one so I can make it right

And I'm wondering who said these things
About you and me and won't you tell me please
How can I believe when all they want to believe
Are the lies that won't let me be free
