Ever trip on a pavement
And wonder how you fell
How you got distracted
What went wrong how did that happen?
And you're fine but you're shaking.
And everybody stares but nobody close to help you cause nobody cares.
We all live such lonely lives.
Material plastic ties.
Commercially satisfied.
From birth till the day we die
And I forget to pay attention
You would think I learned my lesson
But the years go by and I don't change
I just complain and stay the same.
I stay the same.
Do not ask me how my love life is.
My love life is my life.
And I'm not concerned with definitions otherwise.
I'm scared that I love me
Too much, too much, too much, too much
Can you love yourself too much?
We all live such lonely lives
Though husbands and wives deny
Material plastic ties
From birth till the day we die.
And I forget to pay attention
You would think I learned my lesson
But the years go by and I don't change
I just complain and stay the same.
I wonder what it would be like if I was different
Wonder what it would be like if I couldn't sing
What if I was born someone not American
Where there wasn't cellphones and I am medicines
What do I do with all this greed
How much I wanna see myself succeed
How much I want you to see me on tv
How much I love publicity
I'm scared that I love me
Too much, too much, too much, too much
Can you love yourself too much?
We all live such lonely lives.
Material plastic ties.
Commercially satisfied.
From birth till the day we die
And I forget to pay attention
You would think I learned my lesson
But the years go by and I don't change
I just complain and stay the same.
