I try so horribly hard
Over and over and over again
I try and I try and I try and I try
But it's just never enough
For you to back off
To simply just
Leave me alone
But then again
Perhaps the way it is now
Is better
For at least my horrors
Will not fill up
My own teacups
At least there wouldn't be
Any muddy puddles
From some overwhelmed spillovers
And I'm finally ready
To throw my hands up
Feels like I'll be better off
If I were to disappear
And could someone also do me
A hit and a run?
Don't worry,
I won't charge
There won't be any money
Or the police involved
Just promise me
To just not stop to check up upon
Please,
Just drive away
And allow me to bleed out my already
Broken and empty heart
By the sidewalk where
I can finally get some silence
And some peace and some quiet
All the three things
Which I have always wanted
Maybe that sounds selfish
Greed never did me good
But it would make it so much easier
If I were to just disappear
And sometimes I hope I'll die
Before fifty comes to catch me
Staring me straight into the eye
Maybe that sounds selfish
But I could not give a fuck
Yeah,
I am selfish
And bitter
And sad
And so damn mad
Yeah,
I am selfish
I guess that's just the way I am
