lyrics

Everyone watches my grim situation
I’m gawked at with pity and fascination
And I understand the motivation
Assess the damage caused
Assist and then take pause
To be happy they’re not lost, like me

Everyone acts like it’s a disaster
I’m helpless because I can’t get past her
I just wish they’d move along faster
Instead of saying they understand
Offering to lend a hand
While they thank god they’re not stranded, like me

[Chorus]
I hate to throw a wrench into good intentions
But please don’t interfere
All the sympathy
Does not help me
No matter how sincere
Please stop your stares
Keep moving [cause] there’s
Nothing to see here

Everyone wants to help me through with what I am dealing
Help me to stand up as I am reeling
But I know there’s something else they are feeling
I’m sure that it makes them feel good,
Because it’s understood,
It could be worse, they could, be like me

[Chorus]

It’s not that I'm not grateful
For all the attempts to be
Helpful and empathetic
But why can't you all see
I just want to be alone
With my misery

[Chorus]
