lyrics

That’s not the answer I was looking for
But I don’t remember what I asked any more
Say what you like but you can’t take it back
You can do what you want but you shouldn’t do that

Some people like to be ready for change
I’m a little nervous so I stay out of range
It’s good to be right when it’s all done and said
But I’d rather stay a little wrong in the head

Sing the songs that make you happy
Sing the songs that make you cry
I don’t understand but I get the message

Lives in a corner with a secret C
Breaks off a little bit, sends it to me
Hard to be nice to a cynical mind
Keep to yourself and your different kind
How far to go when you’re selling a lie?
You never know ‘til you give it a try
No sense of sense there is only a thing
Such as the used which the word it is in

Sing the songs that make you happy
Sing the songs that make you cry
I don’t understand but I get the message
