lyrics

Well I hate to disappoint you
but black coffee won't do any good
when I'm acting this way
it's best to let me feel misunderstood
you know it's only a front
that goes up when it's convenient
I've worked on this face for years
anger that's expedient
& even the occasional
obligatory tears

Don't try to make me feel guilty
I'll only pout & shut up
then you'll apologize for
cutting me down as I cut up
but look the other way sometimes
out the window if you need
when I start parading all my fears
all the emotional swerves
& curves you're keyed to
& even the occasional
obligatory tears
especially the occasional
obligatory tears
