I'm Not an Exception

Just because I'm quiet
Doesn't mean I've got nothing to say
Just because I give advice
Doesn't mean everything goes my way
No, I need more help than you

And because I protect others
Doesn't mean I don't need protecting
If I act strong it's because I'm weaker
Well I'm the one who needs therapy
I'm the one stuck in a shell of myself

If it's you who drags me under
I wont ever curse your name
If it's your actions that kill me
Myself is who I'll blame
Breaking under the pressure

And if you leave me here alone
I'll forgive you right away
Won't ever hold it against you
I'm used to nothing going my way
No, it never goes how I want it to
