My father was a story

My mother was afraid

They didn't mean to make me

But I got made anyway

Since I was a young child (wa-oh)

I much preferred the rain (wa-oh)

They asked me "Are you happy?" (wa-oh)

I said "I can't explain" (wa-oh) And I say Heatstroke yellow, maybe strawberry blue

The strongest thing I ever felt was feelings for you

So try to look me in the eye

A difficult goodbye

To all the things we hide, ah-oh

I live my life upon a crystal shield

It's unbelievable but I keep believing

I'll never give up 'til the day I die

I'll never give up till the day I die I say

Every single time they come back home from the road

I say tell me where you've been to

Tell me what you've gone for

They tell me On the road you end up losing you soul

I'm thinking when they made me they forgot one of those I say rich kids singing of the silver spoon blues

They tell me I can't get in 'cause there's just no more room

But they lied

They looked me in the eye

Scared of what they'd find

Underneath my side, ah-oh And I hope you're right so I can see the sunshine

And I hope you're right 'cause I don't like this way

And I hope you're right so I can change the future

'Cause I was only hiding in the rain, wa-oh Since I was a young child

I've seen a lot of rain

You asked me "Are you happy?"

I said "I can't explain"

I told you "I'm a monster" wa-oh

And I can't seem to feel, wa-oh

They asked me "Are you happy?" wa-oh

Said "No but I am real" And I say Heatstroke yellow, maybe strawberry blue

The strongest thing I ever felt was feelings for you

So try to look me in the eye

A difficult goodbye

To all the things we hide, ah-oh Rich kid singing of the silver spoon blues

They tell you you can't get in 'cause there's just no more room

But they lie

They look you in the eye

Scared of what they'd find

Underneath your side
