lyrics
Take it all back now what you wanted to be. I know
sometimes it is hard to see. I've died twice just trying to
be me. Wash it all down now with something clear - the start of something (if not a new year) brings haste to the boy with fear. I've slurred every word that I could say. A few times there you forgot about me, and I guess that I saw this happening. Read my lyrics now. Oh happy day! It's a song about you and me! But I guess this couldn't be what you'd mean. Well, I never knew that you and me, oh, well, we could make such a scene. And I guess we'll always never be free. One, two, three, four more times we'll see. You'll put your body in front of me and I guess we'll see just what we need. I guess we'll see just what we need. I've slurred every word that I could say. A few times there you forgot about me, and I guess that I saw this happening.
Read my lyrics now. Oh happy day! It's a song about you and me! But I guess this couldn't be what you'd mean. And you could never fail to see that mediocre part of me. And you could always hope to be much more. (Give it all back) But you've always failed to move passed all the things done to you, and now you're just his whore.
