lyrics

I was thirteen when I realised that bastard Walt Disney had ruined my life
With false expectations that all situations would end in a sunny day
So fuck you Walt Disney ‘cause life just doesn’t work that way
It doesn’t matter how much you sing
You can plead ‘til you drop but it don’t mean a thing
And even if your sentiments ring true
You might capture her heart for a minute or two
But it’s superficial, she’s still not in love with you
If music holds such power then how come all my love songs never work?
Oooh I’m a jerk spewing my guts out to people pretending they care about me
Oh it’s sad but true that darling, you’re perfectly happy without me
Though it breaks my heart well that’s, that’s, that’s a fact (oh yeah)
Don’t shed any tears for me (Shed no tears)
And spare me all your sympathy (Honestly)
I didn’t have the balls to let you know (What a stupid motherfucker)
‘Cause I’m too fucking weak (Far too weak)
So I sing instead of speak (Just can’t speak)
Yeah I’ll play my stupid song and watch you go (So I’ll watch you go)
‘Cause I never thought that I had a chance to blow
But I never asked so how did I ever know?
‘Cause ten thousand love songs mean shit
If you simply can’t spit out the truth for real
If only I could find the words to tell you face to face how I feel
Because no matter how much I sing it will never make you love me
