I paint my nails black, cuz it fits my mood I'm tired of lookin' around for something to prove You don't know how it feels inside my skin But neither do I, because I numb the feeling Take it away, all of my pain I gotta bottle I need to finish Take it away, take it from me Cuz if you don't, I might drown in it And I keep tellin' ma, tellin' ma, tellin' myself That my bad luck's gonna go away And I keep tryin' and tryin' and try, try to win But I'm losing every day I wanna get up and fight, but I don't have the time I'm too busy feelin' sorry for me When it looks like the clouds are gone I wake up, it was just a dream, it was just a dream It was just a dream, it was all a dream I walk around, cold to the warmth of life I see ya tryin' to talk, but I'm deaf to lies Right, I believe in promises of tomorrow If I don't make it there, know that I'm that sorry, though Take it away, take it from me Cuz I really wanna believe After the rain, someone'll say There's really more for me I keep tellin' ma, tellin' ma, tellin' myself That my bad luck's gonna go away And I keep tryin' and tryin' and try, try to win But I'm losing every day I wanna get up and fight, but I don't have the time I'm too busy feelin' sorry for me When it looks like the clouds are gone I wake up, it was just a...
