Twenty-three years and I’ve lost all control
I’ve got no money in my pocket
And the song in my soul’s gone minor, oh
I blame it on my father, fucker never was whole
He took my mother, sister, lovers, all,
he burned us like coal to fire, oh
They say I’m an adult, but I feel like a child
Still clinging to lies that they tell with a smile
‘Bout how the world is and how it could never be
But in reality…
I learned that crying was weakness, my biggest teacher was shame
You’ve gotta lie and cheat and steal
just to be in the game, my brother, oh
Ask forgiveness, not permission, you can expect the same
You’ll know you’ve done it if when you die
They remember your name, my sister, oh
I don’t wanna live like that
I don’t wanna hurt that bad
Sometimes it feels like I’m the only one
Nobody gets the weird ones
Nobody gets the weird ones
Nobody gets the weird ones like me
I just want love to take me higher
Love is where it’s at and who I want to be
I just want love to take me higher
Love to heal our wounds until we’re truly free!
Nobody gets the weird ones
Nobody gets the weird ones
Nobody gets the weird ones like me
Nobody gets the weird ones
Nobody gets the weird ones
Nobody gets the weird ones like me
