Annie Janine - don't understand

you look at me
like I'm a freak
because you don't understand
the pinpricks of tears stinging my eyes

because you're not like me
you don't know how it feels
to be left out
to be ignored

to loose a friend
and have to pretend you don't care

you've always had everything you wanted
you don't know what it's like
to worry about money
to wonder if your little sister will get any christmas presents this year

And you definitely don't know how it feels
to have it all crashing down on you

so you shrug off my pain
you say I'm a crybaby
but that's because
you'll never understand
