Hysteria
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.
I can't say I'm in control of my moods
You light me up like a short fuse
Little girl with somethin' to prove
Must be what I like about you
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, ah
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, ah
Can't contain my emotions
There's no box big enough to hold them
I try my best at rationalization
But there's no title for classification
I didn't mean to scare ya
It's just my hysteria
I didn't mean to do you no harm
Didn't mean to hit you so hard
It's like a wave when it comes over me
The chemicals rage in my body
I bite my cheeks 'cause I don't want to talk
It's hard enough just to live with my thoughts
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, ah
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, ah
Can't contain my emotions
There's no box big enough to hold them
I try my best at rationalization
But therе's no title for classification
I didn't mean to scare ya
It's just my hystеria
Didn't mean to do you no harm
Didn't mean to hit you so hard, so hard
Ah, hysteria
Ah, hysteria
Ah, hysteria
Ah, hysteria
Hysteria
