lyrics

I spent a lot of time being angry, a lot of my life aiming just to be
stuck inside the lot between the edge of life and the door screen.
and now it's such a shame to think that all those years were lived along in vein,
but I can't keep on going without a point to reach.

(pre-chorus)
and I can't escape the silent noise of every needle in my spine,
spreading pain across my back like wild fire.
so here's my resignation: I don't want any recognition,
all I need is to be left alone.

(chorus)
I don't want to be right, I don't care if I'm wrong,
forget my diagnosis, all I've got left are these songs.
I say I can't relate, I think I can't connect with human beings,
all I need to know is what is wrong with me.

I never want to see your face again, I fucking quit.
and anything you ever tried to give me proved useless
'cause all this bottled rage just ended up being pointless anyway,
so here's to you 'cause this bottle's mine to break.

(pre-chorus)
(chorus)

you left me here waiting, sometimes debating, should I stay with you or find a new setting?
the way you make me feel, oh it felt so real, but now that you're gone, I hardly can deal.
so don't act like you care, cause I know you never did, you said what we felt was love I say we're just stupid kids,
I don't know why I still think of you day after day,
you ripped out my heart and just ran away.

what is wrong with me?

(chorus)

my million excuses are useless without something to keep me going,
my million lucky excuses are useless without your heart of gold inside of me.
my million excuses are useless without something to keep me going,
I've got a million contusions and bruises and that is always getting in my way.
