Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
So you said you've been a far whisper
but I say I can hear you clearly boy
no matter what you do

You are always so much louder than me
you take up lots of space
taking mine away

But you don't seem to mind
so don't be surprised to hear
that I don't think you're kind

I have you on my mind
when I think of things I dislike
no matter what you do
I don't want to become like you

The sea couldn't pull me in
and so can't you
though you think you do

And I don't tell the truth
cause sometimes, you know
it takes a little while
till the words are found
that match my sound

Just because I'm slow
doesn't mean to go
just as far till I let you know
to stop to quit to leave to cease

You think my life's too much about things I don't like
I complain too much, nurture my anger too much
but hear what I tell you, boy
I can just as well undress
leave all this mess

It's not that I have chosen
the world that I live in
the only thing I chose is
to not be too happy
when things aren't like that

My hours of bliss
are there, be sure
but I choose carefully
with whom to share

So boy, beware
cause all I got for you
is my anger, my contempt

Have you ever spent a thought or two
on things not concerning you
what you call pain
is a vain attempt
to get all the attention needed
to nurture your ego
nurture your ego

But I'm not a mother
no, I'm not a mother
go find yourself someone other
