letra de you've got me all fucked up - morgan madden

i came into this place expecting better
my expectations were rigid; firm in the hope of humanity
i got knocked down a few pegs by a few people
the climb back up has been difficult, persistent
there are detractors at every level looking to put me in my place
plenty of people living their lives as they see fit
you, me, humanity, we don’t factor in
those expectations were subsequently lowered
as they did, so did the hope
i’m all f-cked up!!!
the self esteem and the collective esteem did too
then, there was you
you didn’t seek to knock me down or pick me up
you met me where i was
we took in the scenery together
you stayed with me on my level for a bit
those expectations, and hope, and esteem were elevated
elevated by the simple knowledge that people like you exist
now, you’ve got me all f-cked up
whatever narrative i had constructed has been rendered moot
whenever i want to be bitter, i see your face
i see it and it breaks the paradigm
all of the previous patterns are invalidated
it was easier when i could write everyone off
be it as bad or indifferent, but you’re none of the above
you don’t fit in quite so neatly
finding more like you is an inherently flawed endeavor
i’m not willing to open myself up to the counterfeiters of hope
the falsely humble and kind who would seek to destroy me at my most vulnerable
forgery and one-offs are about as close as i can get
if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, consider yourself flattered
you, however, are the real thing
every halfhearted, half–ssed attempt to be like you seems cheaper in comparison
now, i’m caught in the middle
and i’m all f-cked up!!!
stuck awkwardly between the rule and its exception
you’re my lottery ticket; offering hope of either wealth or bankruptcy
you’re that 1 in 500 million shot that keeps people like me spending
i’ll spend all i’ve got to acquire more people like you
you’ve got me all f-cked up and i couldn’t be more grateful
