Sometimes, things get a little hazy Sometimes, I think I'm just a little crazy I don't even know my own name Soon all of me will go up in flames Wearing scars, on my arms and in my eyes Are you friends or enemies in disguise So hard, when everything just runs against me Jealous words, turn into a love/hate frenzy Won't someone, lend me a helping hand Time is up, to the time that's left undone Time to grab my hat, grab my coat, I gotta load my gun Silly things always always are the ones that turn out worst And it seams The ones that love you always hurt you the most Won't someone, please understand Won't someone, lend me a helping hand Won't someone, please take the time to think That your actions and words They don't always say what they mean Since I was a child, I used to dream of many things Superstars, the bizzare, kings and their pretty queens Now it seems, I need a shot, a drink to jog my thoughts Why does this happen all the time Is ti, is it just because Because no-one will understand Won't someone, lend me a helping hand Won't someone, take the time to think That your actions and words They don't always say what they mean.
