Misery, loves company
When company, won't call
You're left with a mouthful of ten thousand wrong words
It's all I got
It's what I want
Sympathy, is everything
When everything, fell short
A textbook example of childhood in shambles
It's not what I want
But it's what I got
Eventually, I came to see
I was seeing things, all wrong
I've no expectations of people who gave in
My broken heart
Beats like a bomb
Beats like a bomb
Blackbirds are faster than flames to a photograph.
A big stack of mishaps and so much time spent feeling bad
Despite all the beauty that drips right off a loved one's lips
A childlike reaction that starts and stops with selfishness
I try hard to stay awake
Long enough to see the day
When I can finally say
I did something right for a change
I turn to you, I turn to you
In hopes that I will improve
You turn to me, you turn to me
But I just lie there half asleep
You turn to him, you turn to him
Hoping he'll make you whole again
I turn to her, I turn to her
And in the end we all get burned
I try hard to stay awake
Long enough to see the day
When I can finally say
I did something right for a change
There's gotta be a change
