Adored

I used to be here all alone
Now I have company
But I can’t stand a word you say
It holds no consequence to me

Now you found me, skin and bone
I used to have teeth
I found the strength to run away
But this freedom wasn’t my escape

‘Cause I just wanna be adored
I don’t wanna be ignored
My time’s a blessing, not a curse
Your patience only makes it worse

You left me writhing on the floor
Dripping with disease
I found the time to suffocate
The reason for this new mistake

‘Cause I just wanna be adored
I don’t wanna be ignored
My time’s a blessing, not a curse
Your patience only makes it worse

‘Cause you want something more
Than I can deliver
I have praise for the familiar
But watching it slip away is the hardest part

I just wanna be adored
I don’t wanna be ignored
My time’s a blessing, not a curse
Your patience only makes it worse
It only makes it worse
