When It Isn’t Like It Should Be... Lyrics by Saves the Day

Ups & Downs: Early Recordings and B-Sides

0

Why is it everything's all loneliness with me?
I guess sometimes I try too hard
And sometimes you cause it
But it always carries on and on
"What did you ever become?" you asked
I said, "I was told to be smiles and bright eyed happiness
But sometimes I can't find anything to laugh at."
"I don't want to be here." you said
It seems like I almost always have that effect on everyone
I say to myself, "You aren't the first one to think like me."
And I just want to be like everyone else
Why can't I be everything to everyone else
Or maybe just to you?
Just once I would like to be something
And I wouldn't mind if you'd like to be with me
