"Something Like Me" written and performed by Sarah Lovecraft (copyrighted 2010)

 

I need to let go, there's nothing left to hold on to

I'm trying to wake up, just so I could walk home to you

I have to confess my beautiful sins I made with my hands

All I ask of you is be there and hold my hand

All I know is that I'm so fucked up again

And I wish that I could heal my pain within

 

Chorus:

So crawl inside and medicate your love into me

Your hearts that care about something like me

Open up the floodgates so I can let it out inside

Give me the strength to live through another night

 

I'm so afraid - I'm not used to people helping me

I'm insane - how can you really say you care about me?

I never heard anyone say nice things to me

I never had anyone to care enough to save me

All I ask is that you be there to help me cross over

All I know is that I'm alone in being transgender

 

Chorus

 

I take these pills that reveals the girl inside of me

And there's Trazodone that's here to help me sleep

My depression never left me alone - it won't go away

And the hateful atmosphere is killing me everyday

I don't have many friends - they all backstabbed and misled me

I don't have anyone brave enough to even love me

 

Chorus

 

I'm traumatized and I have a personality that's so rebellious

And I know I'm the only one that's hated

I try to do good, but they all tear me down

Now I let out the Devil that I had stuffed so far down

There's no angel, nothing good left of me anymore

And here I go, falling apart just like before

 

Chorus x2

 

It's all my fault - I should've never opened up

But you care too much, enough for me to not give up

I'm grateful for you, my only support system

You're the only ones that understand my transgender anthem

 

I'm so misanthropic, but at least you care about something like me.

 

(ENDS)

 

Critique is most appreciated. Thanks.
