Lyrics
Lately
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.
Lately I've been feeling
a little bit neglected.
When it comes to your ex-boyfriends,
well, I guess I'm overprotective.
But it's nothing personal
I just wanted you to tell me that you
care.
Lately I've been thinking bout'
stickin' my head in a toaster.
I never asked to take a ride
on this emotional roller-coaster
It's you that I want,
and lately it feels like you're not there.
Lately I've been contemplating
jumping in the ocean.
Sometimes even Spock would show
a little more emotion!
Do you still love me now
as much as you loved me yesterday?
Chorus:
I try to let it out...
I bitch, I cry, moan, whine, scream and
shout today,
but the wall wouldn't listen to me!
Why wouldn't it listen to me?
I'm sick of always cryin'
I don't wanna be sick of trying,
but you've gotta want me too.
Lately I've been hoping for
a little bit of affection.
Sometimes I wish that you had came
with your own set of directions.
I guess it's not that easy,
but I hope that you still love me anyway
Lately I've been thinkin' bout'
takin' a vow of silence.
I've never seen a monk result
in any acts of violence.
Or, maybe I'll just cry
and hope you come around again today.
Chorus:
I try to let it out...
I bitch, I cry, moan, whine, scream and
shout today,
but the wall wouldn't listen to me!
Why wouldn't it listen to me?
I'm sick of always cryin'
I don't wanna be sick of trying,
but you've gotta want me too.
