Wallflower

I feel like I'm here all alone
There's people here beside me
I know they don't love me
I'm just a wallflower listening to the conversations

If I fade into my mind I'll find hate
Not for anyone here but just myself
I'm in the city of drug addicts
Broken and all alone 

I've overdosed myself on love
Now I'm paying that the price in blood
I could get addicted to drugs  
That wouldn't fix it I'll only hurt more

So I'll just stick to myself and be a wallflower
Don't get me wrong I once had a place I belong
I don't know if you can ever find that place again
I'll wait for it as a wallflower
