I'm too tired for pretending to be happy Now I'm crying so loud That my dog is barking at me I can't hear anything, I can't breathe I must still be crazy, I must still be me Smelling flowers at the grocery store I am the one I pick them for When I feel sick what should I do? I used to call someone but who? My moody blue, my face is fake I skipped my dues, my taxes paid I hit my dance when I hit play I'm fucking up, it's my big break My back it breaks for you The cracks in pavement move Beneath your feet they land and wait for you Mistakes we're made to choose My heart on sleeve, leave me on read I do not need and answer now I know my question wasn't sweet But it's important to me, please How do you walk away from you shadow? You think you could talk it out? How do you keep track of the madness? You know what I'm talking 'bout What if it's all you ever get done about it is to talk about it 'til it's nothing but what's done? And we know what's done is done WOOF Pity don't put nobody nowhere I really don't see no way, no how I put it some place, I don't know where I don't have the skills or the know how I don't want to deal, I want to slow down I don't want to feel, Life's too real Dirty lowdown, on my knees In the hotel, if it ain't real I'd rather know hell, I'm tired I'm too tired for pretending to be happy Now I'm crying so loud That my dog is barking at me I can't hear anything, I can't breathe I must still be crazy, I must still be me Smelling flowers at the grocery store I am the one I pick them for When I feel sick what should I do I used to call someone but… How do you walk away from you shadow? You think you could talk it out? How do you keep track of the madness? You know what I'm talking 'bout What if it's all you ever get done about it is to talk about it 'til it's nothing but what's done? And we know what's done is done
