While We're Up - Derailed Lyrics
In self pity I have found a sweet soft hurtAnd blurred the lines between alright and hateful wordsSo come one all you so-called friends and give it to me straightJust pump me full of numb until my eyes dilateI'm not happy no, but I'm fineI've left myself a little broken up in an attempt to get byI'm not happy no, but I'm fineLower the shoulder and push on forwardAnd hope that this will all work outIn retrospect I find it funny how I can't recallThe last time I laughed at something that was funny at allNow something's got to give and the only one who isIs me so you seeIf I said I was happy then I liedIt's a war from day to day and the nurses strike without their paySo I'm content to settle on being small and not so niceIf I could get the point across that I am flailing and impreciseI cannot do happy but I can fake my way through fineWon't someone please just open up their eyes
