Cheat Me
by Dogwood

Album: Building A Better Me

I am now what you seem
I don't answer to you
Please understand what I mean
While it gives me a thrill
It's all I can do
You realize that it's all for you

This is the part
Where you should be proud
I'd listen to reason
But he's yelling too loud
It's not important
Alive for a year
Love and acceptance
No one wants to hear me

Want to talk about it
Or want to be around it
Or want to be the one to

Give you my life
It's not yours to take
You were my hero
But your motives are fake
Ten thousand people divided by one
Even still I have just begun

A struggle to grasp
All the knowledge at hand
I'd listen to wisdom
But he quit the band
Now what is left?
Only a few
Look in the mirror
And see that it's you

Who wants to talk about it?
Who wants to be around it?
Who wants to be the one to say?

Just walk away
Not left for me to say
I've overstayed my welcome here

In a perfect world
This song wouldn't be
A man is lost, that man is me
I'm dragging my feet
I'm falling behind
He follow my pain and my mind

A voyeur to thought
My guest for the day
I open my arms
To see you running away
It's not over yet
I'm afraid it gets worse
We all have to give in
And I'll be the first

To want to talk about it
To want to be around it
To want to be the one to say

Just walk away

Not left for me to say
I've overstayed my welcome here

No!
