You can call me weak
You can call me fragile
Everything always easily wounds me
Yeah I ain’t all that agile
Admittedly I let shit get to me
Shit that don’t seem to be all that big
Guess that’s just the way I’m made
Like some frail old twig
I feel too much
About way too many things
This whole world hurts me
Hurts me till it stings
If you want to break me
It ain’t all that hard
Just tell me that I’m an ugly mug
And you will punch my card
My house is made of balsa wood
That can easily be blown to bits
Inside I’m sitting on an uneasy chair
With nothing but my wits
I feel too much
About way too many things
This whole world hurts me
Hurts me till it stings
You can knock me down
You can stomp on my face
You can dunk me in a pool of acid
As a coup de grace
Don’t know why you’re so frickin' mean
Never made much sense
And I let you slay me each and every time
‘Cause I am so goddam dense
I feel too much
About way too many things
This whole world hurts me
Hurts me till it stings
