88 Fingers Louie Album

t because I'm bored with you it must be my health
I feel like I'm a little kid afraid to go to school
I lock myself inside my room and act like a fool

I don't know why and I don't miss it
I wanna cry and no one's listenin'
I don't know why? I don't know why?

The phone keeps ringing but I'm not home or maybe I am
The world outside is not the same, I don't give a damn
I lie around in bed all day the ceiling's all I see
You try to take me out the door but I won't leave

I don't know why and I don't miss it
I wanna cry and no one's listenin'
I don't know why? I don't know why?

On my own
I'm afraid
All my feelings
Seem the same

Feel the same

He stumbles in at night and the clock says 3 a.m.
The love of his life just wonders where on earth he's been

He can't explain himself, a poor excuse is all he's got
A mess of contradictions have his stomach tied in knots

She gets tired of waiting up all night
If he truly cared for her he'd stay at home tonight

He says he's out with friends, then again he could be anywhere
She starts to have a nervous breakdown when he isn't there
She tried to call him on the phone and no one's there

No explanation - No explanation
No explanation can be given

Wide awake at night again. What is it gonna take?
He tries to speak, it makes her think his story is a fake
She can't take these fables anymore
What she wants to know is what the phone numbers are for

He can't explain himself, a poor excuse is all he's got
A mess of contradictions have his stomach tied in knots

I try my best to reach perfection
And all I get is more rejection
I wanna know what you're about

It's nice to know someone's out there asking
But what's it worth when it's all you're telling?
I think it's you I've finally figured out

Those outright lies you've said are knocking me down
What's left to do when your life's turned upside down?

I've gotten flak from all who know me
If you speak truth then you need to show me
You can't expect me to just nod my head and smile
Cos ignorance is not my style

As my false pride gets in the way
I start believing all you say
I cross my fingers all the while

I'm running in a different race
I'm out of time and out of place
I play the sucker all the time
I simply can't make up my mind
Whoever I choose to believe
Who says they won't stand up and leave
And who'll be waiting next in line
Won't you give me another sign?

Those outright lies you've said are knocking me down
What's left to do when your life's turned upside down?

Turn it upside down - Turn it upside down
Turn it upside down - Turn it upside down

I have my chance what in the hell am I waiting for
I offer my apology for the millionth time
I try in vain to try to get you to just open up
You never have an answer and I never question why

I stare outside your window
Waiting for it to begin
As you turn I'll keep my head low.
Why can't you let me in?

I'm in your head, too bad I know that's not what I said
You twist my words til they seem good enough for you
You say I hurt your feelings and one thing is a fact
You think I'm disgusting, but I know you want me back

I stare outside your window
Waiting for it to begin
As you turn I'll keep my head low.
Why can't you let me in?

Out of your life but my picture remains
I never found the right things to say
Tell me who on earth are you fooling today

I've had all I can take
I'm leaving anyway
Somebody stop me

I had my chance why in the hell did I wait so long?
I offered my apology it's shoved back in my face
I tried in vain to tell you, why did I wait so fucking long?
I spent all this time wondering what I had done wrong

I stare outside your window
Waiting for it to begin
As you turn I'll keep my head low.
Why can't you let me in?

Quit making fun of me, I don't like it
I'm not some "wind-me-up" you can play
You've go the best of me, I can't fight it
There's nothing left that I can say

This run around you're giving me
It makes me long for better days
Don't ever take me for a fool
I'm smart enough to run away

You're standing over me, I don't mind it
You have this way of stopping time
Whenever things turn sour, I'll be on my way
I only wanna take what's mine

I say this run around you're giving me
There's got to be a better way
Don't ever take me for a fool
I'm smart enough to run away

You've go the best of me
I'm not so blind that I can't see
Don't ever take me for a fool
Last thing I want's to be your tool

Don't ever take me for a fool
I'm smart enough to run away

This run around you're giving me, it's not the same
You don't mean nothing and I can't forget your name

Don't ever take me for a fool
I won't forget your golden rule
I'm smart enough to run away

I can't believe the things I've said
Like all the times I'd hope that you were dead
What's going on inside my head?
To think of you is only making me red

You shut me out and I can't believe it
Was I so blind that I couldn't see it
You offered love and I didn't need it
I'm tired of holding back
I'm tired of holding back
I'm tired of holding back

It's getting old, your bigotry
I'm getting fed up with the things you're telling me
Your world's so dark that you can't see
That all your anger is your only energy

You shut me out and I can't believe it
Was I so blind that I couldn't see it
You offered love and I didn't need it
I'm tired of holding back

You shut me out and I can't believe it
Was I so blind that I couldn't see it
You offered love and I didn't need it
I'm tired of holding back

I can't imagine any human being slapping me
I got so high that I didn't let you get to me
Ignored my problems with the help of my little toy
I'm losing all that's close and I don't even wonder why

And I don't care if I'm alone
I'm not myself unless I'm stoned

I'm in my little world, no one can shut me out
Don't try to talk to me, I'm high and there's no doubt
My mind has been through hell and back and I don't care
I'm in my little world, it's too bad you're not there

I start to freak on how the way things used to be
You say you're happy but there's something you're not telling me
I'm always fucked up and that really seems to bother you
Don't ever wanna change there's nothing you can say or do

And I don't care if i'm alone
I'm not myself unless i'm stoned

I'm in my little world, no one can shut me out
Don't try to talk to me, I'm high and there's no doubt
My mind has been through hell and back and I don't care
I'm in my little world, it's too bad you're not there

I'm in my little world, no one can shut me out
Don't try to talk to me, I'm high and there's no doubt
My mind has been through hell and back and I don't care
I'm in my little world, it's too bad you're not there

I can't imagine any human being slapping me
I got so high that I didn't let you get to me
Ignored my problems with the help of my little toy
I'm losing all that's close and I don't even wonder why

Do it again!

I'm sick of feeling like the faceless one
But that's all changed because I've found someone

If I had blinked I probably never would have met her
And now I wouldn't change a thing

She seems to sparkle with her every move
My mind goes crazy when she's in the room

If I had blinked I probably never would have met her
And now I wouldn't change a thing

Try not to think of how things were when you weren't here
My friends all say I've lost my head and it's not fair
Nothing matters when I call and you're not there
I've fallen totally in love and I don't care

I used to think that I could hold my own
I'd rather die than have to live alone

If I had blinked I probably never would have met her
And now I wouldn't change a thing

Try not to think of how things were when you weren't here
My friends all say I've lost my head and it's not fair
Nothing matters when I call and you're not there
I've fallen totally in love and I don't care, I don't care

I recall the time that changed my whole fucking life
Call it fate, call it what you want, but it happened to me
Some people go through life searching for this thing caled love
Call it fate, call it what you want, but it happened to me

And I can't believe the way she makes me feel inside
When I'm around her, I just can't help but smile
She may be unsuspecting of this but I'll look at her and say all of things I feel
She wants to know all the thing I feel, I'm gonna tell her how I fell inside

I've won - I've won - I've won

She makes me laugh, she makes me cry
My love for her will never die
She makes me think, she makes me believe in myself
Now I can see my life is rectified

And I can't believe just how she changed my life
My outlook on life is leaning toward the positive
She means everything to me and I'll do anything to keep from losing her
Deep in my heart I can't lose her and I don't feel like such a loser now

I've won - I've won - I've won

I used to think that I could take on the whole world
I didn't need my friends for what I could do on my own
And then you came along and showed me I was wrong
My world turned upside down ever since we were alone

You're always there to tell me that I'm lazy
First to admit that I'm fucking crazy

Tell me something that I don't know
I get the feeling that you don't think so
Tell me something I don't know you know

I start believing all the stupid words you say
I turn to liquor to make all my problems go away
You try to tell me that I'm making a mistake
I never listen to you, I just hope you stay away

I love it when you say I'm good for nothing
You always think that I'm up to something

Tell me something that I don't know
I get the feeling that you don't think so
Tell me something I don't know you know

Tell me something that I don't know
I get the feeling that you don't think so
Tell me something I don't know you know

Tell me something that I don't know
I get the feeling that you don't think so
Tell me something I don't know you know

I can't stand and watch myself or anybody else
Sometimes, sometimes

Confidence is lacking, I turn to run away
I can't take the pressure of it all
I'm not frightened about who I'm gonna meet
I'm just afraid that I might fall

I keep repeating the same words you say
I ignore my problems cos they get in the way
Nothing matters when all's said and done
Family resemblance is something we have in common
You used to tell me never keep your feelings down
You can't let anger in the way

I've spent a lifetime looking for a little break
Things don't change, they stay the same

I keep repeating the same words you say
I ignore my problems cos they get in the way
Nothing matters when all's said and done
Family resemblance is something we have in common

Sometimes, sometimes
I just can't help myself

Confidence is lacking, I turn to run away
I can't take the pressure of it all

I can't stand and watch myself or anybody else
Sometimes, sometimes

I keep repeating the same words you say
I ignore my problems cos they get in the way
Nothing matters when all's said and done
Family resemblance is something we have in common
