They don't want me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They don't want me
They used to want me
But they don't want me
Anymore
I used to belong
Now I don't belong
It's not the same song
Anymore
We used to play games
We used to trade names
But we don't play games
Anymore
They don't want me
They used to want me
But they don't want me
Anymore...
Now I'm all alone
No one left to help chip the stone
And now this awful weed begins to grow
'Cause they don't want me
repeat until fade:
They don't want me
(We don't want you)
They used to want me
Not anymore
