I had felt that this was wrong from the start
And I had felt that I was giving too much of myself
What'll it take to make you see that this is just some silly dream
That I don't want to be in anymore
You can't see what's right in front of you
Some things are better left unsaid,
But what do you do when this is wrong for all of us and I
I don't want to
Be the one who
Has to tell you it's all over now
You have dealt with this all on your own
And you have dealt with this all for far too long
What'll it take to make you see that we just want you to succeed
Well I'm not so sure anymore
You can't see what's right in front of you
I know you gave it your best shot,
But what do you do when this is wrong for all of us and I
I don't want to
Be the one who
Has to tell you it's all over now

Flatter Me

Let's get this paint on the walls
We've got to fool them all
A happy home yeah
But the neighbors know the truth is that we
Made each other miserable
In a way that I'm not capable
Of putting into words
Yeah you always had the right words to
Flatter me, flatten me
I spent the last two years living down in a hole
No longer around but still under your control
Oh, I just want to be left alone
There was wild speculation,
Rumors, and the constant questions
"Have you seen this man?"
"I think I used to know him..."
Blame it on the rain
When you forget my name, but come on
Girl you know it's... girl you know it's...
Girl you know it's... girl you know it's true
Flatter me, flatten me
I spent the last two years living down in a hole
Barely alive but still under your control
Oh, I just need you to let me go
See the light, take a breath of that fresh air
Say goodbye, you were never really there
See the light, take a breath of that fresh air
Say goodbye
I spent the last two years living down in a hole
No longer around but still under your control
Oh, I just want to be left alone
Speculation, rumors, and the constant questions
"Have you seen this man?"
"I think I used to know him..."
Speculation, rumors, and the constant questions
"Have you seen this man?"
"I'd really love to be him again."

Another day, time to get in your own way
And take it out on somebody else
Pull out your list of bad habits, quickly run down it
Which one is gonna get you today?
Don't change, no way
Tell me whatcha gonna do if you can't complain?
Starting fights on the internet with people that you've never met
Is gonna get you through the day
On and on...
You need to chill out
You need to chill out
You need to chill out
You need to take care of yourself
Another day, time to get in your own way
Your foot is in your mouth again
Pull out your list of excuses and everyone loses
Which one is on the table today?
Don't change, no way
We know you're gonna be an asshole anyway
Starting fights in the checkout line with
People just trying to mind their business
Is gonna get you through and
On and on...
You need to chill out
You need to chill out
You need to chill out
You need to take care of yourself
Write these words with a pen on your palm
I'm not gonna break now
I won't let this take me down
Keep these words on the tip of your tongue
Calm
Write these words with a pen on your palm
I'm not gonna take this
I won't let this break me down
My mama said the doctor shouted JESUS CHRIST
That's the saddest little baby that I ever seen in my whole life
I'd cry and I'd pout when I couldn't get my way,
And I guess you could say that not a whole lot has changed
Well my daddy said I was such an angry little boy,
Yeah I'd scream and I'd yell when I had to share my toys
Well I guess that's how it's always been
On and on...
You need to chill out
You need to chill out
You need to chill out
You need to take care of yourself

I watch the smart birds fly over Jersey
As they head south for the winter
Something in their genes says, "get gone, get out of here,
There's no happiness if you stay"
But here I sit and think and wait and think some more
Another season gone, I guess probably deserve this
Tell me where can I be
Happy and guilt free oh no
Waiting to hear back something
But my soul ignores me
What's so bad about feeling good?
What's so bad about feeling good?
Change it all only if we could
So what's so bad about feeling good?
I could suffer at home
I could suffer on the road
I could suffer with my family
Or suffer all alone
Get up, get gone, get out of here
Maybe I could fly away
But here I sit and think and wait and think some more
Another season gone, I guess probably deserve this
What's so bad about feeling good?
What's so bad about feeling good?
Change it all only if we could
So what's so bad about feeling good?
I've got an uncontroversial statement
I'm too young to feel this vacant
But I don't know how to change it
If this is a hospital then change my bed
Call the doctor here to fix my head
Send me out of this world
Tell me where can I be
Happy and guilt free oh no
Waiting to hear back something
But my soul ignores me
What's so bad about feeling good?
What's so bad about feeling good?
Change it all only if we could
So what's so bad about feeling good?
What's so bad about feeling good? (I wanna know)
What's so bad about feeling good? (Just gotta know right now)
What's so bad about feeling good? (Don't know how to change it)
What's so bad?
