Someone call me a doctor, or call me a nurse Someone know it ain't real, but I swear it's still usIt's like everyone round here wants to observe Me be punched to the pavement or kicked to the curbSo I could disappear, you know I swear I've been debating itLife wouldn't feel so short if I didn't spend so much time wasting itBut now it's winning out, I'll be glad when it's overCan't remember the last time I spoke to you soberBut the truth is I need ya, the truth is I careBut I'd rather leave ya to save my own head and my heart from the painIf you choose to leave, so I'll put on my jacket and cover the heart of my sleeveAnd all of my friends, oh, they try and reach outBut I can't even whisper what my conscience shoutsSays they don't even love ya, they don't even careWhen I look in the mirror, it's not me standing thereI don't recognize me on my face, on my hair, on my eyes, on my teeth, on my clothes that I wearCause all I ever hear is beauty's only skin deepWhich means the others *** hate me, but what's underneath?But the truth is I need ya, the truth is I careBut the truth is I need ya, the truth is I careBut I'd rather leave ya to save my own head and my heart from the painIf you choose to leave, so I'll put on my jacket and cover the heart of my sleeveThe truth is I need ya, the truth is I careBut I'd rather leave ya to save my own head and my heart from the painIf you choose to leave, so I'll put on my jacket and cover my heartOh, toss me a t-shirt, toss me something I needTo cover the heart that I wear on my sleevePut me in the papers, oh, put me on the screenTake me from the boy that I was meant to beAlthough you tossed me a life ring to save me from drowningFalling in love with myself and with my thorny crownAnd I'll never be human and I'll never be saneSo I keep taking substance to numb all the painBut the truth is I need ya, the truth is I careBut I'd rather leave ya to save my own head and my heart from the painIf you choose to leave, so I'll put on my jacket and cover the heart of my sleeve*
