Sorry
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.
What's the matter with your life
Did someone come and shoot your wife?
Just as you planned
Will you live or will you die
Are you that butterfly
That never lands?
Set aside these vacant rules
Break them now and don't get fooled again
Sorry, how many times must I say?
Life is not a cake to seperate
What do I have to do
To save you from worry?
Cut off my nose, to spite my face
When you look into these eyes
Do you see civilised or son of Sam?
Will you love or do you hate?
Why do you hesitate, yeah?
Sorry, how many times must I say?
Life is not a cake to seperate
What do I have to do
To save you from worry?
Cut off my nose, to spite my face
Time is an arrow
You are the bow
Shoot it now to seal your own fate
Get a life, get a love, get a new big idea
What's the matter with your life?
Did someone come and shoot your wife?
Just as you planned
Will you live or will you die
Are you that butterfly?
Sorry, how many times must I say?
Life is not a cake to seperate
What do I have to do
To save you from worry?
Cut off my nose, to spite my face
