lyrics

What’s wrong with your misery–
Did a storm turn into a sunny day
While you weren’t looking?
You paint your daydreams black
She’ll never take you back
But sunlight’s slipping in through the cracks
To catch you crying–you’re always crying
What’s wrong with your sad, sad life
Did a love slip in and overtake you
While you weren’t looking
You left your back door open,
cracked just right
She slipped in the middle of the night
To let the day in – and now she’s staying
Ooh baby, don’t you know it’s hard
I hate my plans right from the start
But you walked in and I was found
I was telling you from far away
I didn’t want you around
You knocked a thick wall down, knocked a thick wall down
What’s wrong with you sympathy
I begged you to notice me
but you weren’t looking – you’re never looking
Now you’re back in my city and you’re dragging me ‘round
Pick me up off of the ground
And I am falling – I am falling
