It isn’t you, it’s just me who’s got it all wrong

I just can’t seem to figure out what I want

Learning guitar is a waste of time

Tae Kwon Do means I’m out of my mind

I need to learn to stop these games I have going on

 

Don’t sing, don’t write, don’t play

Don’t dance like that, you’ll chase the suitors away

Why don’t you ever listen to what I say

At least pretend you’re actually okay

 

Shut the hell up ‘cause I don’t have the patience for your building my insecurities

Not a word you say is gonna mean a damn thing ‘cause you’re never gonna believe in me

 

Is it easier to think that I’ve gone crazy and out of control

Even though you’d never, ever consider letting me go

 

I’ve just about had it up to here

Don’t cry rivers when I disappear

I’m calling in sick

 

Grades aren’t always the answer

M.D. ain’t the only title out there

You say I’m putting stains on my future

Not your place to tell me who what when where

 

Not saying I don’t give a dime

About all your love and care

But I’m finding it’s too much effort

To think about everyone who’ll stare

 

Shut the hell up ‘cause I don’t have the patience for your building my insecurities

Not a word you say is gonna mean a damn thing ‘cause you’re never gonna believe in me

 

Is it easier to think that I’ve gone crazy and out of control

Even though you’d never, ever consider letting me go

 

I’ve just about had it up to here

Don’t cry rivers when I disappear

I’m calling in sick

 

I don’t appreciate your slaughtering my every dream

Why is it that I‘m the one who’s not capable of anything

But don’t stop the good you’re doing, not one bit

But don’t think to include me in your plans, you’re making me sick

 

Is it easier to blame all the stress you put me through

Than to admit that I am never, ever gonna be like you

 

Just say that it isn’t normal, this isn’t me

I’m going far from everyone who calls me crazy

I’m calling in sick
