WHEN I WAS A LITTLE BOY
I WANTED TO STAY INSIDE AND DRAW
DIDN'T WANT TO SEE NO PEOPLE AT ALL
WINTER, SUMMER, SPRING OR FALL

BY MYSELF I HAD MY FUN
WITH MY IMAGINATION
SOME SAID IT WAS JUST A PHASE
I'D SNAP OUT OF IT ONE OF THESE DAYS

THEY TOLD ME, 'YOU'LL GET OVER IT'

OFF TO SCHOOL THEY MADE ME GO
WHERE WHEN YOU'RE FAT THEY'LL LET YOU KNOW
THEY SEE THE MOLES OUT ON MY FACE
POINT & LAUGH OR TRY TO ERASE

I'D WONDER WHAT IT'S LIKE TO FIT
MAYBE TRY TO BE ONE OF THEM
THEY'D SAY, 'THAT'S JUST THE TEENAGE YEARS,
YOU'LL GROW OUT OF ALL THOSE FEARS'

THEY TOLD ME, 'YOU'LL GET OVER IT'

A FEW YEARS LATER MY HEARTS WAS BROKE
I PUNCHED THE WALL AND GAVE UP HOPE
DRAINED WINE BOTTLES & BREAK THE GLASS
AND ON MY ARMS I'D CUT A GASH

LOCKED IN MY ROOM WITH THE STEREO ON
ONLY PLAYING THE SADDEST SONGS
THEY'D SAY, 'THERE'S MORE FISH IN THE SEA,
YOU'LL CHEER UP EVENTUALLY'

THEY TOLD ME, 'YOU'LL GET OVER IT'

FRIENDS AND FAMILY SUDDENLY DIED
THE REST OF US ARE LEFT ALIVE
I FIND I'M CRYING LESS & LESS
FALLING INTO SPIRITUAL DEBT

I'VE FALLEN FOR BOOZE, I'VE FALLEN FOR DRUGS
I'VE FALLEN FOR SEX WITHOUT THE LOVE
I DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT LIFE'S ABOUT
FRUSTRATING TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT

THEY TOLD ME, 'YOU'LL GET OVER IT'

SO I'M WAITING...
