I know that they,
Have come to take me home.
It's not far away,
But I don't want to go.
But I've been chased before.
Yes, I've been followed to the shore.
Don't run away,
I'm not too afraid.
I've always known,
Just how to pretend.
I curl up my lip,
So you won't see it shake,
And curl up my will,
So you won't see it bend.
'Cause I've been hated before.
Yes, I've been on the wrong side of the door.
