Important

(album: To Whom It May Concern - 2003)

Maybe if I liked being alone
I could give you your life back and let you go
Maybe if I got it together again
I wouldn't be belligerent and such a princess

Maybe the reason I got needy
Is because I never had real devotion
Maybe I criticized your loyalty
Because it wasn't given to me

Do you know who I am?
It's me in here with the doctor
And the crowd around me
They are my chosen family

Tell me I'm important
But what about them standing there?
They don't get it
They're smiling at me, I guess they're used to this

Maybe I'll stop wondering when I'm gonna die
Maybe then I'll stop holding so hard to my life
Maybe next time I see my reflection
My mind won't be with me

Maybe my brutal honesty
Is only because I could get away with it
Maybe I'll squash you relentlessly
Because you tried to crush me

Do you know who I am?
It's me in here with the doctor
And the crowd around me
They are my chosen family

Guess you're not important
But what about you standing there?
You can't get in
You're smiling at me, I guess you're used to this

Get out of my way
I don't like fucking waiting
You need to bring me my food first
I'm not the one you wanna starve
And maybe you think you're my friend
And maybe one day
You'll give a shit about what I am

Do you know who I am?
It's me in here with the doctor
And the crowd around me
They are my chosen family

Tell me I'm important
What about you standing there?
You can't get in
You're smiling at me, I guess you're used to this
