Stay Away From Who I Am

Stay away from who I am,
You won't get very far.
I used to give a damn,
but you can never fix the scars.

You'll never know my game,
Don't ask me how I feel.
When I hang my head in shame
Are you sure those tears are real?

It doesn't matter if I scare you,
You will never really see.
Don't try to be a friend,
When I don't want to be me.

What is this I'm turning into?
You can never feel my pain.
You couldn't even begin to
And I have only me to blame.

So stay away from who I am,
You won't get far at all.
Don't follow in my footsteps,
I'll just stumble then I'll fall.
