From my mouth
Now more and more everyday
Words that have nothing to say
Well, I'll find something someday
I thought that I was better off
I was wrong
I am where I don't belong
In a flash I am gone, to return when the sun shines again
Oh, my God
Words that seem so out of place
I wish you'd get out of my face
Well, I'll find something someday
I thought that I was better off
I was wrong
I am where I don't belong
In a flash I am gone, to return when the sun shines again
I thought that I was better off
I was wrong
I am where I don't belong
In a flash I am gone, to return when the sun shines again
To return when the sun shines again
