lyrics

I look up and see the sun
I didn’t want it anyway
So I just drown out everything
Cause I cannot feel this way

So I just lay here all alone
All alone, I was okay
So I just lay here on my own
Now on my own, I just

Cry
Myself away
Why
Can’t it just be that way

Up against us, there’s a wall,
And it just won’t go away
I really want to make it fall,
It refuses to give way

In my notebook we can touch,
We just hug, hang out all day
In my notebook, there is love
Love that always makes me

Cry

I just shout and never sing
No one likes it anyway
So I just drown out everything
But it will not go away

And so we keep going on
Though no one gets it anyway
Cause why should we follow along
If will just make us

Cry

The sun came out
I shoved it out
Who wants it now
Anyway
