Lyrics:
Chorus 1:
Why can't I see straight ahead
I see through walls and windows instead
Why can't you be what I want
I guess that isn't all your fault
Chorus 2:
Why can't I lay in flower beds
I lay dead in the road instead
Why can't you take my love
I guess I'm not enough
Verse 3/Bridge/Ending Verse:
I just wanna know what It feels like
Take me to the place that it's alright
Lend me a hand and watch me run
I don't wanna feel like a lowlife
stab me in the chest with your knife
Fill me up again with buttercups
