Lyrics

Tell me what you're thinking, what you're thinking about

Tell me what's on your mind, your thoughts

Tell me when you're finished, maybe I'll come around

Let me know when you're done, and maybe I'll reconsider

Had enough to bring me all the way to the ground

Experienced enough pain to bring me down completely

I don't have to tell you what I'm thinking about

I don't need to explain my thoughts to you


You have made your bed, I know better than to sleep in it

You've created your problems; I won't get involved

Better off dead than the hell that will become of it

Prefer death over the chaos that will follow

You have hurt my head but I'm not denying that

While you've caused me distress, I won't deny it

I did not bring it on myself

I didn't bring this trouble upon myself


I take pieces of myself from everyone around me

I derive aspects of my identity from those around me

I'm not individual enough for you

I may lack individuality for your standards

I replicate the people I admire

I imitate people I admire

But at least I'm not bitter and sad

Despite this, I'm not resentful or sorrowful


I may not be a hundred percent happy but at least I'm not with

I might not be entirely happy, but at least I'm not in a relationship with

I may not be a hundred percent happy but at least I'm not with you

I might not be entirely happy, but at least I'm not in a relationship with you

I may not be a hundred percent happy but at least I'm not with

I might not be entirely happy, but at least I'm not in a relationship with

I may not be a hundred percent happy but at least I'm not with

-

I may not be a hundred percent happy but at least I'm not with

-

I may not be a hundred percent happy but at least I'm not with you

I might not be entirely happy, but at least I'm not in a relationship with you
