Rotten Apple
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Looking through your window
Counting minutes into hours
Days drag on by
You're looking for a victim
In a sea of superstition
I'm drowning for the last time
Looking in the mirror
And my face is getting clearer
It's gonna take some time
Waking up at home
I'd rather just be left alone
Get the fuck out of my life
Downtown everybody's laughing
I hope someday I'm smiling too
Uptown everybody's crying
I am the loser, you are a liar
I wanna hurt you too
It's time to change the channel
(Repeat)
Scratching at the surface
Try and bleed onto the paper
As you crawl back from the west side
Never rhyme or reason
Can't control just how I'm feeling
Nowadays I try not to lie
Broken in a minute
Turns to nothing in a feeling
And it's such a waste of time
Find it hard to swallow
In a friend that was so shallow
Get the fuck out of my life
Downtown everybody's laughing
I hope someday I'm smiling too
Uptown everybody's crying
New York was so good to you
Uptown everybody's dying
I hope someday you'll feel like I do
Uptown everybody's crying
I am the loser, you are a liar
I wanna hurt you too
It's time to change the channel
I am pathetic, you are a liar
I wanna hurt you too
(Repeat)
Fucking change it
Looking through your window
Counting minutes into hours
Days drag on by
You're looking for a victim
In a sea of superstition
I'm drowning for the last time
Looking in the mirror
And my face is getting clearer
It's gonna take my life
Waking up at home
I'd rather just be left alone
Get the fuck out of my life
(Repeat pre-Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
I want to - change it (Repeat)
I wanna hurt you too (Repeat)
