Isolated Lyrics

I never asked for forgiveness to the man who lives inside
I let you in you’re not listenin’ to a goddamn thing I write
I’m an open book but no one is reading my story
Come and get to know me, I’ll probably scare you away

So I keep to myself, I keep to myself

Cuz I feel separated from the things I’ve never known
But its life and I must take it, take it on my own
Cuz I feel separated, I walk this path alone
I’m detached, I’m Isolated
Isolated

I never tried to be different, just the way it’s always been
Oh the sacred difference is I know who I am
All these thoughts inside, I’ve earned and I’m not changing
You live your safe life and stay away from me

Cuz I feel separated from the things I’ve never known
But its life and I must take it, take it on my own
Cuz I feel separated, I walk this path alone
I’m detached, I’m isolated
Isolated

No! Let me go!
Not changing…
This life I’m gunna take it on my own! Me alone!
Not breaking…
Live and die according to my soul! Forever more!
Not changing…
This life I’m gunna take it on my own! Me alone!
I’m forsaken
You know I’m gunna take it on my own
Make it on my own!

Cuz I feel separated from the things I’ve never known
But its life and I must take it, take it on my own
Cuz I feel separated, I walk this path alone
I’m detached, I’m isolated
Isolated
