Lyrics
I Don't Wanna Feel Bad

How many times can we tell each other we're sorry
By now we know there's some things you can never take back
How many ways can we can cut each other to pieces
How can we heal when we're always afraid of attack
Chorus
I don't wanna feel bad
('cause it makes me so frustrated,
then I just wanna take it out on you)
You don't wanna be blue
('cause you know when you're unhappy,
then you shut me out and don't say why)
I don't wanna stay mad
(in the middle of a fight forgetting
saying things I'm always regretting)
We both know what to do
We always said that we knew what the other was feeling
Now I don't know if you think we'd be better apart
I lie alone in my bed and stare at the ceiling
Wonder if the beat that I feel is the same in your heart
(Chorus)
Sometimes you can't make the best of a bad situation
Sometimes you just have to pack up your things and be free
We're getting to the point where we might have to turn from each other
Try to find a place where we don't have to be you and me
(Chorus)
