Why am I even here? And I wonder You leave me wondering You leave me wondering Won't you stop watching me I said, they're watching me, watching me, watching me Now in my corner, I got the ceiling in my eyes Arms holding up my knees And rocking back and forth my life I didn't mean to feel this way When I walked into the door, Lord Then they ripped away my memories And I can't remember who, who I was before Now, you see I'm watching everything I do And they're watching everything I say Why won't they leave me, leave me, leave, won't leave me be? Now I only wanted to sixteen and free And I wonder
