Lyrics
You made me feel I was to blame
That I had done so many wrongs
I'd not been capable of managing
And everything I built would fall apart
You told me I was useless
And nobody would ever want me near
On you I was dependent for all
I wished I could just disappear
(chorus)
You said so many times
That I was such a waste
I hindered you and everything you'd do
And as you told me so many times
I finally believed it was true (so true)
People tell me I look so gaunt
Looking thinner and losing so much weight
I tell them it's my own fault
(bridge)
From the misery there is no escape
And if I try to build myself up
Back to how I know I once was
You'll tell me I am fooling myself
That I am useless - a total loss
(chorus)
You said so many times
That I was such a waste
I hindered you and everything you'd do
And as you told me so many times
I finally believed it was true (so true)
So, I stand here in the shadows
In the darkness of the night
Knowing I will be no more sorrow
I have no more left to fight
You told me so many times
I believe it to be true
I believe it to be true
