Don't Take It Badly

History repeating again and again

I consider the trauma a personal friend

I don't wanna be so defensive when

It's greener on the other side

Some of this heartache's been with me so long, that I

Don't know what I'd even do if it's gone

The songs that I'm singing are hurting my feelings

So why you wanna carry on?

Reading the future

Like it's the weather

Sunny one day

Raining the next

Give me a reason to get out of bed

Oh, when you say you'll be there

What do you mean

If you're gonna keep doing the same old things?

Don't take it badly

I'm not angry

I can't run away but I can't stand still

There's lead in the water making me ill

And if I was to say what I really feel

You'd put me in a padded cell

I'm sorry if you expect from me

To be somebody I've forgotten how to be

Oh, I wake up trying

Go to sleep crying

Reading the future

Like it's the weather

Why does it have to be a hundred degrees

And still feel like hell is gonna freeze?

Oh, when you say you'll be there

What do you mean

If you're gonna keep doing the same old things?

Don't take it badly

I'm not angry

Ooh-ooh
