Crazy
They tell me that I'm crazy
But I don't think I am
People whisper about me when I walk by
Sometimes they even stop to stare
It doesn't bother me much anymore
Not like it used to
I've been through a lot
Probably to hell and back
But they don't know that
That's why I look at them and laugh
I try to brush it off
Because I know I'm not crazy
It's called a mental illness
And it sucks to have
But it runs in my family
I get it mostly from my dad
I take my medication
It seems to help a lot
I tell you I'm not crazy
Because it's the honest truth
People think they know me
When in all reality they don't
They just talk and talk and talk
But they don't see what happens behind closed doors
