lyrics

I put it out there for anyone to hear
But as it turns out no one lends an ear
They are preoccupied with more important stuff
And when I press matters they say, Enough

Just like cellophane on a cigarette pack
Lead with my chin ,lead with my chin
Just like cellophane on a cigarette pack
My skin is as thin, my skin is as thin

I make a statement about a kind of state of mind
A sort of person who is running 'round blind
It is a type I understand well
I can sniff him out 'cause I know his smell

I tell you everything
I tell you too much
I tell you my troubles
I tell you my crutch
I tell you when I'm happy
I tell you when I'm sad
I tell you when I'm reasonable
I tell when I'm mad
All you gotta do is listen

Sometimes I'm cranky and I feel fed up
Sometimes I wanna hit the gas and feel sped up
I may be too sensitive and I can't take a joke
But that's what happens when your heart gets broke
