I Didn't Ask For This - Beth Crowley

Strike first

Make it hurt

When everyone assumes the worst

I never have to say I’m sorry

Spiteful

Ruinous

I’m all things you feared I was

Another villain in your story

You think that I’m a spitfire?

You should

Afraid you’re on my bad side?

That’s good

If I wanted to end you

I could

I could

I’m sinking down

If you only knew how hard it is

For me to climb out

I’m kicking and screaming

But no one can hear me

So what happens now

The shadows are creeping in

I didn’t ask for

I didn’t ask for this

Cold rage

Hides the shame

Of images I can’t escape

Scars that live under the surface

It’s strange

What I became

When part of me was ripped away

And replaced with something worthless

You think that I’m a spitfire?

You should

Afraid you’re on my bad side?

That’s good

If I wanted to end you

I could

I could

I’m sinking down

If you only knew how hard it is

For me to climb out

I’m kicking and screaming

But no one can hear me

So what happens now

The shadows are creeping in

I didn’t ask for

I didn’t ask for this

Take what’s left

Of my fractured heart

Bloodstained 'cause

The pieces are so sharp

Take what’s left

Of my fractured heart

Bloodstained 'cause

The pieces are so sharp

I’m sinking down

If you only knew how hard it is

For me to climb out

I’m kicking and screaming

But no one can hear me

So what happens now

The shadows are creeping in

I didn’t ask for

I didn’t ask for this

Never forget

I didn’t ask for this
