I've been hanging out in the boredom basement 

Building up the files on my MP3 

Homemade rockets and a load of laundry -- 

It's been a real party ever since you set me free 



They say that I'm cool, they tell me I'm strong 

Everyone says it's better now that you're gone 

So how come everything feels wrong? 



I took all the money that I won at the table 

Got another record and a phat tattoo 

Everybody says, "Hey whatcha gonna do now?" 

I've been killing myself trying to keep my mind off of you 



They say that I'm cool, they tell me I'm strong 

Everyone says it's better now that you're gone 

Well maybe everyone is wrong 

Everyday I'm alone and everyday's long 

Telling myself it's better since you've been gone 

So how come everything feels wrong? 



How could you let me go? 

After it took so long to find me? 

Take back your radio -- all of these stupid songs remind me 

That everything's wrong and it's become plain 

Even if I am strong, we'll never be the same 



Everybody says, "Hey, whatcha gonna do now, babe?" 

Well, I've done it all and still I am thinking of you 



So don't tell me I'm cool and say that I'm strong 

Everyone thinks it's better now that you're gone 

Well I think everyone is wrong 

Cause everyday I'm alone and everyday's long 

Telling myself it's better since you've been gone 

So how come everything feels wrong?
