lyrics

I hate everyone who likes me
If you despise me, we'll get along just fine
I can't enjoy a moment if you don't want me
I can't force a smile
I know there's something wrong
I can't move on to greener pastures
And though I don't belong
I'd rather wait here in the rafters

I hate everyone who knows me
If you just met me, we'll get along just fine
I can't ignore the voices or make right choices
Can't make up for lost time
I know there's something wrong
I can't move on to greener pastures
And though I don't belong
I'd rather wait here in the rafters
All alone with my point of view
And nothing to do to do at all
