LyricsEdit
finished with my woman cause she couldn't help me with my mind
people think i'm insane because i am frowning all the time
all day long i think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
think i'll lose my mind if i don't find something to pacify
can you help me? are you for my brain?
i need someone to show me the things in life that i can't find
i can't see the things that make true happiness i must be blind
make a joke and i will sigh and you will laugh and i will cry
happiness i cannot feel and love to me is so unreal
and so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
i tell you to enjoy life i wish i could but it's too late
