"I'm Sensitive" lyrics

I'm Sensitive

I was thinking
That I might fly today
Just to disprove
All the things that you say

It doesn't take a talent to be mean
Your words can crush things that are unseen
So please be careful with me
I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way

You always tell me
That is impossible
To be respected
And be a girl

Why's it gotta be so complicated?
Why you gotta tell me if I'm hated?
Oh, please be careful with me
I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way

I was thinking
That it might do some good
If we robbed the cynics
And took all their food

That way what they believe will have taken place
And we'll give it to anybody who has some faith
So please be careful with me
I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way

I have this theory
That if we're told we're bad
Then that's the only
Idea we'll ever have

But maybe if we are surrounded in beauty
Someday we will become what we see
Cause anyone can start a conflict
It's harder yet to disregard it
I'd rather see the world from another angle
We are everyday angels
Be careful with me
Cause I'd like to stay that way
