you're left with a mouthful of ten thousand wrong words.
it's all i got, but it's what i want.

sympathy was everything when everything fell short.
a text book example of a childhood in shambles.
it's not what i want, but it's what i got.

eventually i came to see that i was seeing things all wrong.
i put expectations on people who gave in -- my broken heart beats like a bomb.

life burns up faster than flames to a photograph.
a big stack of mishaps, so much time spent feeling bad.

despite all the beauty that drips right off our loved one's lips.
a child-like reaction that starts and stops in selfish fits.

i'm trying hard to stay awake long enough to see the day
where i can finally say i did something right for a change.

i turned to you in hopes that i will improve.
you turn to me but i just lie there half asleep.

you turn to him hoping he'll making you whole again.
i turn to her and in the end we all get burned.

i'm trying hard to stay awake long enough to see the day
where i can finally say i did something right for a change.

because god, i need a change.

misery loves company, but when company won't call
you're left with a mouthful of ten thousand wrong words.

it's all i got, but it's what i want.
