You Tell Me
You tell me I am stupid
And that my brains are fried
You tell me I am worthless
The fact is not denied
You tell me I am ugly
And that I am a fool
You tell me I am crazy
I know that it is true
You tell me I'm not wanted
And that I am not loved
You tell me I am retarded
(I already knew that, duh)
You tell me I am nothing
And I will never be
You tell me I don't deserve life
And what you say I believe
You tell me I am a disappointment
And that I am of no use
You tell me I am a failure
And I accept the truth
You tell me I can't be a writer
Or a dancer or a star
You tell me I am a no-good loser
I know I'll never go far
You took away my everything
Including my self-esteem
I know I am to blame cuz
I listen to what you tell me
