lyrics

It’s not insane to blame your bad mood on the rain
You hate the fact that lovers seem to wax and wane
At breakneck speeds too fast to take a mental picture
You don’t remember anything

Your heart worn on your sleeve and beating fast
Gave off a glow too desperate for it to last
I think of you sometimes that way and wince a little
So help me forget the past

And underneath the scars there is
An angel suffocated by the
Close air in the bars
And the daily medication

You took pills seven days a week
And mom took pills seven days a week
And Betty takes pills in her night gown
And I took pills to calm me down

You took pills seven days a week
And mom took pills seven days a week
And Betty takes pills to stay awake
And I take pills so I can fall asleep

And there’s a battle underneath your skin
Most days it seems you just cant win
But I’ve seen that look and I’ve seen that grin
It tells me that some day you’ll shed the
Weight of all that holds you down
and you’ll be yourself again
