lyrics

Human Zoo
By Little Erin

Verse 1

Practicing my smile in front of a dirty bathroom mirror
Makes me realize that I've been nothing but a liar,
And a fake, and a phony and a downright cheat to myself
Oh yeah, I don􏰀t wanna be nobody else

Verse 2

All my life I was groomed to be your little puppet
Pull my strings and tell me things
I didn't think twice of it
I would jump, and leap, and hop right to your side
I sacrificed everything to make sure you were alright

Chorus

But lately I've been thinkin􏰀
What am I spose to do
No matter how much I wiggle and squeeze
I'll never fit in with you
So I gotta go, and crawl and claw my way back home
Yeah, I can't help the way I am
I prefer to be alone

Verse 3

Pardon me, coming through,
sorry I'm in your way
I am just a lonely burden floatin here in space
I don't mean no harm
I'm just too sensitive for this place
I never felt like I belonged
Any ol way

Chorus

But lately I've been thinkin'
What am I spose to do
No matter how much I wiggle and squeeze,
I'll never fit in with you
So I gotta go, and crawl and claw my way back home
Yeah􏰁 I can􏰀t help the way I am
I prefer to be alone

Bridge 1

When I have to walk into a crowded room
And feel my spine start to shiver and shake
My heart start to race
I really don't give a care what they say
But Oh, the feeling of impending doom
Washes over me as their eyes feel like daggers
Not that their opinion ever really matters
I'm just so tired of being on display for you
Aren't you tired of it too?
Living every day in your cage,
In the Human Zoo

Bridge2

All alone where I can be free
Where nobody stares at me
Where I can just be myself
Man I don't need nobody else
And maybe you don't need me

Chorus

Cuz lately I've been thinkin'
What am I spose to do,
No matter how much I wiggle and squeeze,
I'll never fit in with you
So I gotta go, and crawl, and claw my way back home
Yeah I can't help they way I am
I prefer to be alone
I can't help the way I am
I prefer to be alone.
