Lyrics

I am sitting here in my sweats I've been wearing for the last few days. I gained five pounds and my hair's a mess and I can't break free from this gloomy haze. I used to feel so alive on the top of the world dancing in the sky. Then it started to rain and I slipped and fell and it hurt like hell and now I'm stumbling, fumbling, recovering from the pain. And he goes about his day. In his world he's ok. I probably never cross his mind. While I'm stuck here in my head I remember how he said this would be hard, emotions like a rollercoaster ride. Well I guess I thought he'd be strapped in by my side. It's New Year's Eve and I'm alone sitting on this old broken chair. Well this is not healthy, especially the mint ice cream that's become my new love affair. The clock strikes 12. The whole world yells and I put my head down. And then I started to cry the first tears of my week long breakdown. And he goes about his night, in his world he's alright. I probably never cross his mind. While I'm stuck here in my head I remember how he said this would be hard, emotions like a roller coaster ride. Well I guess I thought he'd be strapped in by my side. I'm glad he's ok. I envy his strength. I guess I just hoped for a moment of weakness where he'd pick up the phone. But what do I expect? I'm well aware of the facts. I'm the one in love with him and he's the one, who doesn't love me back. So he goes about his day. In his world he's ok. I probably never cross his mind. While I'm stuck here in my head I remember how he said this would be hard, emotions like a rollercoaster ride. And he goes about his day. In his world he's ok. I probably never cross his mind. While I'm stuck here in my head I remember how he said this would be hard, emotions like a rollercoaster ride. Well I guess I thought he'd be strapped in by my side
