Don't make me out your failure
Because I haven't died just yet
But don't make me out your savior
Because I'm not the surest bet

Don't make me out your princess
But don't make me out the beast
Don't make this out as progress
Because I haven't changed the least

Don't make me out a star
And don't make me out the lead
But don't make me out a shadow
Because I don't have the shining steed

Don't make me out perfection
But don't make me out your mistake
Don't make this out as heaven
Because I know a far worse place

Don't make me out the worst
And don't make me out the best
Don't make me out the loser
Because I'll be better than the rest

Don't make this out an apology
Don't make it an attack
Stop jumping to conclusions
And then I'll stop right back

Don't make this be a whisper
But don't make it out as yelling
Don't make this out as emotion
Because it's simply just me telling

Don't make me out your peace
But don't make this out as war
Don't make me out your prisoner
Because of an oath I never swore

Don't make me out your family
But don't make it as a stranger
Don't make it out as choosing
Because I'm not in any danger

Don't make me out as hostile
Don't make me out as kind
But don't make me out as crazy
Because you can't see inside my mind

Don't make me out as stupid
And don't make me out as smart
Don't make me out as pitiless
Because I still have that heart.
