Oh someone call me
a Doctor
Or call me a nurse
So I know it ain't real
But I swear it still hurts
It's like everyone
round here
Wants to observe me be
punched to the pavement
Or kicked to the kerb
So I could disappear
You know I swear
I've been debating it
Life wouldn't feel so short
if I didn't spend
So much time wasting it
But now it's running out
I'll be glad when it's over
Can't remember
the last time
I spoke to you sober
But the truth is
I need ya
The truth is I care
But I'd rather leave ya
To save my own head
My heart from the pain
If you chose to leave
So I'll put on my jacket
And cover the heart
on my sleeve
And all of my friends
oh they try and reach out
But I can't even whisper
what my conscience
shouts
Says they don't
even love ya
they don't even care
When I look in the mirror
it's not me standing there
I don't recognise me
or my face or my hair
Or my eyes or my teeth
or the clothes that I wear
Cos all I ever hear is
beauties only skin deep
Which means you
all fucking hate me
But what's underneath
But the truth is
I need ya
The truth is I care
But I'd rather leave ya
To save my own head
My heart from the pain
If you chose to leave
So I'll put on my jacket
And cover the heart
on my sleeve
But the truth is
I need ya
The truth is I care
But I'd rather leave ya
To save my own head
My heart from the pain
If you chose to leave
So I'll put on my jacket
And cover my heart on
Pass me a T-Shirt
Pass me something
I need
to cover the heart
that I wear on my sleeve
Put me in the papers
or put me on the screens
Take me from the boy
that I was meant to be
Although you toss
me a life
ring to save me
from drowning
Fall in love with myself
with my thorny crown
I'll never be human
and I'll never be sane
So I'll keep taking
substance
to numb all the pain
But the truth is
I need ya
The truth is I care
But I'd rather leave ya
To save my own head
My heart from the pain
If you chose to leave
So I'll put on my jacket
And cover the heart
on my sleeve
