(3, 4) 



I paint my nails black, cuz it fits my mood 

I'm tired of lookin' around for something to prove 

You don't know how it feels inside my skin 

But neither do I, because I numb the feeling 

Take it away, all of my pain 

I gotta bottle I need to finish 

Take it away, take it from me 

Cuz if you don't, I might drown in it 



And I keep tellin' ma, tellin' ma, tellin' myself 

That my bad luck's gonna go away 

And I keep tryin' and tryin' and try, try to win 

But I'm losing every day 

I wanna get up and fight, but I don't have the time 

I'm too busy feelin' sorry for me 

When it looks like the clouds are gone 

I wake up, it was just a dream, it was just a dream 

It was just a dream, it was all a dream 



I walk around, cold to the warmth of life 

I see ya tryin' to talk, but I'm deaf to lies 

Right, I believe in promises of tomorrow 

If I don't make it there, know that I'm that sorry, though 

Take it away, take it from me 

Cuz I really wanna believe 

After the rain, someone'll say 

There's really more for me 



I keep tellin' ma, tellin' ma, tellin' myself 

That my bad luck's gonna go away 

And I keep tryin' and tryin' and try, try to win 

But I'm losing every day 

I wanna get up and fight, but I don't have the time 

I'm too busy feelin' sorry for me 

When it looks like the clouds are gone 

I wake up, it was just a... 



See, I've been through Hell and I am still yet to come back 

There is no conductor to get this on track 

I have dreams of freedom from the circumstance I'm in 

If it's in His plans for me, then I will win 

I'll just dream til' then 



I keep tellin' ma, tellin' ma, tellin' myself 

That my bad luck's gonna go away 

And I keep tryin' and tryin' and try, try to win 

But I'm losing every day 

I wanna get up and fight, but I don't have the time 

I'm too busy feelin' sorry for me 

When it looks like the clouds are gone 

I wake up, it was just a dream, it was just a dream 

It was just a dream, it was all a dream 

It was just a dream
