• Let me tell you my story
    Of constant sad scenes
    Let me tell you my hopes
    Of constant broken dreams

    So listen well
    Because this story is one
    You wont hear in fairytales
    You'll be crying when I'm done

    (Because this one doesn't have a happy ending)

    I've been washed away
    In a sea of doubt
    Where all hope is gone
    Let me tell you what it's about

    [Chorus]
    I can't be what he wants me to
    I'm that wallflower he ignores
    I'm caught in a landslide
    I'm lost in his storm

    His storm is a fiery rage
    That erupts when I fail
    So take heed
    Listen to my tale

    (Sit down in your chair and listen to my story)

    It's a one of angry loss
    That make the minstrels weep
    It's a melancholy story
    You'll never want to keep

    (Like me)

    Because I'm a survivor
    In this raging storm
    I'm clinging to the boat
    I can't take much more

    I fail to live up to his angry
    Expectations
    I fail to notice his subtle
    Indications

    (Of never ending disappointment)

    [Chorus]
    I can't be what he wants me to
    I'm that wallflower he ignores
    I'm caught in a landslide
    I'm lost in his storm

    He was my beacon
    When I was under attack
    Watch out for the waves
    'Cause they're coming right back

    Out of my pages of
    Childish writing
    Under the strain
    Of continuously fighting

    (His expectations)

    [Chorus]
    I can't be what he wants me to
    I'm that wallflower he ignores
    I'm caught in a landslide
    I'm lost in his storm

    The waves have washed me down
    I'm drowning in self pity
    He's put me down, every day
    I'm not smart, I'm not pretty

    (And no one tells me otherwise)

    I'm stuck in this relationship
    Of endless expectations
    I'm stuck in this storm
    Of raging indications

    (Lost in the sea of ignorance)

    Do not blot the pages
    Do not weep your tears
    For the raging waves
    Will wash away your fears

    (As they have for me)

    With the remedy of death;
    The path that I have taken
    To no longer endure his wrath
    For he is sadly mistaken

    [Chorus]
    I'm not going to be what he wants
    I'm that wallflower he ignores
    I'm away from the landslide
    I've found my way out of his storm

    Do not weep for me
    I am not worth your cries
    Do not wet these pages
    Of a thousand lies

    (In these withered pages)

    But now I am at peace
    With my story in your minds
    So you can know the troubles
    I have to hide behind

    (For his lies have tainted me)

    [Chorus]
    I'm not going to be what he wants
    I'm that wallflower he ignores
    I'm away from the landslide
    I've found my way out of his storm

    These written dreams
    Of release
    Have come to leave me
    In peace

    Because once you've finished this story
    I've already been dead
    Not only on the inside
    But in the tears that I have shed

    (I'm sorry)

    'Til death do we part
    And someone died that day
