Accept

Mistreated

From Eat the Heat1989

Written by David Reece, Deaffy, Peter Baltes

Lyrics

Mistreated

I've been hurt so many times

And been told so many lies

No one cares what's on my mind

At all

I feel lost while on my own

There's no place I call home

But I still want to believe

I've not been mistreated

Not been mistreated

It's my heart that goes on

To believe there's someone

Who needs me to carry on

'till the end

I'm holding on

I've not been mistreated

Not been mistreated

Not been mistreated

I know in ways - have to be strong

Pouring my strain - it's turning out wrong

Feels like a stream of endless old fears

But I still want to believe

I've not been mistreated

Not been mistreated

Not been mistreated

I've not been ...

These are the days when dreams are lost

Bleeding in vain and wearing the cost

Of nonpaid lies - i'm crying for help

But I still want to believe

I've not been mistreated

Not been mistreated

Not been mistreated

I've not been ...

I've tried more than once before

To find out what i've done wrong

Still don't know how to go on

To understand why i've been mistreated - mistreated

Still don't know where to go

Stil got no place I call home - call home

I've been hurt so many times

And been told so many lies

No one cares what's on my mind

At all

I feel lost while on my own

Can't believe there's someone

Who needs me to carry on

I'm holding on

I've not been mistreated

Not been mistreated

I've not been mistreated
