Leave Me Be

who the hell are you?
what do you want me to do?
what is the message you are sending?
are you for real or are you just pretending?

you came from who knows where
and where i come from you just don't care
you seem to want me for a good time
but i question why this pleasure is mine

who was it yesterday?
who will it be tomorrow?
imagining the prospects of what you don't say
i'm left with depression and sorrow

i don't like to be demanding
but we need to come to an understanding
shed that air of mystery
because your approach is messing with me

there was a time when i'd let anyone in
witness the scars from where i've been
i've grown quite fond of keeping people out
its what my survival today is about

you've got a man,
you could have ten men!
why do you want to toy with me
and not be my friend?

i can see your strategy
i don't question your methodology
we're all free and you are free to
leave me be
