Have you ever been so lonely
There is no one there to hold?
Just pull me in or disown me
And then climb inside
My arms are open wide
Have a look inside
It is not that I am scared to learn
Just why I'm empty inside
Hold my hand or show some concern
If I live or die
My eyes are open wide
Help me look inside
Singing ha de de ha ha de de ah
I hear the water drip from the faucet
It's sweetly falling in tune
I'm gently closing the closet and I
Fall to the floor
And crawl to my room
The thought of ending it soon
Just let me sleep in my room
Hear me cry! Cry! Cry!
I hear a knock at the front door
Don't come in!
I try to look at you
But I can't stop shaking
Leave me alone, just go away
Mother I'm so scared, I'm so scared
An empty bed and all of the sheets are gone
They're wrapped around me and you
All is quiet but the drop of my gun
'Cause I, I want to belong, to someone
But maybe life's not for everyone
Ha de de ha ha de de ah
There is no one there to hold?
Just pull me in or disown me
And then climb inside
My arms are open wide
Have a look inside
It is not that I am scared to learn
Just why I'm empty inside
Hold my hand or show some concern
If I live or die
My eyes are open wide
Help me look inside
Singing ha de de ha ha de de ah
I hear the water drip from the faucet
It's sweetly falling in tune
I'm gently closing the closet and I
Fall to the floor
And crawl to my room
The thought of ending it soon
Just let me sleep in my room
Hear me cry! Cry! Cry!
I hear a knock at the front door
Don't come in!
I try to look at you
But I can't stop shaking
Leave me alone, just go away
Mother I'm so scared, I'm so scared
An empty bed and all of the sheets are gone
They're wrapped around me and you
All is quiet but the drop of my gun
'Cause I, I want to belong, to someone
But maybe life's not for everyone
Ha de de ha ha de de ah

Hekifier, I agree with you in so far as that's what the song is about. Justin says it in Argue With A Tree. But can't you at least appreciate another point of view? Creativity is about drawing inspiration from many sources, so can't you at least notice that there are other ideas?
Justin wrote this song when he was 14. Many kids question their sexual identity around that age. So, it's an aspect to consider. I'm not saying that it's definitely in the song, or that it is at all, but it is something to in the very least think about.
I mean, if you're closed minded enough to only accept one opinion, you'll never fully understand anything, will you?
Thumbs up to this.
