I Didn't Ask For This

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

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
