lyrics

Dearest friend: I'm going mad
looking back at what fun I used to have.

"It's okay. You're perfectly sane.
Don't dwell too much or
you'll lose touch with reality."

Reality isn't there for me.
All I have are those past memories.
I'm getting sick of this.
It was all I have, now it's all I seem to miss.

And I know all these words because before I told you so.
"Maybe that's why they all sound so familiar."

"Return to sender: I must say
it's been a few weeks, how do you feel today?"

Today I feel okay.
I'm getting by and I try to make it through these hard times.
But I feel much better than I did before.
Mopping around is such of a bore.

"Before all this you could be fun.
Mopping around just gets nothing done.
You've become no fun."

And I know all these songs because before I sung them so.
"Maybe that's why they all sound so familiar."
