lyrics

I got a lot of questions
Much more than my share
I make a big fuss
And I get in your hair
I’m happy when you listen
Upset when you won’t
Some days you care
Some days you just don’t
Well I know that I can be a burden
And I know that you are a-hurtin’
Even my mom would call me a pill
But this mountain ain’t no molehill

What I need is not what I want
And what I want is not what I need
I walk around with my wounds wide open
See me bleed

I got a lot of issues
Maybe more than a few
And when I’m desperate
I take ‘em out on you
You roll your eyes
When I start to complain
‘Bout all my crazy shit
And all my shitty pain
Well I know that I can be a squeaky wheel
Yeah I know you got your own deal
But I can’t help that I get so damn blue
It’s all to do with me and none to you

I got a lot of chutzpah
To think that I should matter
The world has got its troubles
Don’t wanna add to the chatter
Sorry if I’ve hurt you
And made you all pissed
But I’d hope somehow
When I’m gone I will be missed
Well I don’t know what it is I do
That offends everyone I get close to
Just one time I wanna to bust out of my skin
And be someone I've never been
