about
This song started out as a joke but then we actually recorded it. Rayne (Human Petting Zoo) is playing ukulele but not singing her own song, while everyone else in the band is singing and not playing their instruments. It's basically an inside joke. (Matt and Kyle, you will appreciate this.)
lyrics
C, G, A minor, F
I can't stand being alone for just a little while
Just a couple hours and I will hate myself
Anxiety has led me to believe the ones I love will leave
They're never coming back to me, and I will die alone
F, G, A minor
I don't have to sacrifice my happiness for anybody
And I don't have to try and make sure I make everybody happy
F, G, A minor, C
So here's to all the times I cried and cried and cried
F, G, C
Over something that I couldn't control
C, G, A minor, F
The little things that get under my skin, I cannot let them in
I cannot let them tell me that I'm not good enough
When I think that way I start to feel like there's no hope for me
I start to feel the gravity pulling me to hell
F, G, A minor
I don't have to sacrifice my happiness for anybody
And I don't have to try and make sure I make everybody happy
F, G, A minor, C
So here's to all the times I cried and cried and cried
F, G, C
Over something that I couldn't control
