[Verse 1]

Well it started off bad

Then it got a little better

Then it got a lot worse

Then it got so much worse than before

You said I should take my medication

Antipsychotics, and stop drinking

Now I feel grand

I feel numb

I’m feeling feelings

I’m feeling love


[Pre-Chorus]

And I’m sorry about your grandpa

I wish there was more that I could do

And I know your family’s fucked up

But man my family’s fucked up too

It’s one thing to feel uncomfortable

It’s another to hate the blood in your veins

It’s one thing to get disowned

It’s another to change your name


[Chorus]

And I’m sorry that it took me so long to finally understand

That the feelings you were feeling made you feel, oh ho, so bad

There's no such thing as an overreaction

It’s just a very strong reaction

I feel I very strongly react in almost every situation

And I wish that I didn’t


[Verse 2]

Well I started off good

Then I started to slip up

In fact I’m slippin' up right now

Sittin' in my bathroom with a beer bottle in my mouth

Now I feel grand

I feel violent and overwhelmed

Watch me try and take care of other people

I can’t even take care of myself


[Pre-Chorus]

And I’m sorry about your grandpa

I wish there was more that I could do

And I know your feelin' bad

But man I'm feelin' bad too

It’s one thing to feel uncomfortable

It’s another to hate the blood in your veins

It’s one thing to get disowned

It’s another to change your name


[Verse 3]

And I’m sorry that it took me so long to finally understand

That the feelings you were feeling made you feel, oh ho, so bad

There's no such thing as an overreaction

It’s just a very strong reaction

I feel I very strongly react in almost every situation

And I wish that I didn’t


[Bridge]

But maybe one day I’ll be at Sundance

Wearing shoes without shoelaces

24-hour surveillance

I hope my friends all come and visit me

But maybe one day I'll be at Sundance

Wearing shoes without shoelaces

24-hour surveillance

I hope my friends all come and visit me

I’m not an empathetic person

But I wish that I was

I spent three years at college trying to prove I could feel

Something but numb


[Pre-Chorus]

And I’m sorry about your grandpa

I wish there was more that I could do

And I know your family’s fucked up

But man my family’s fucked up too

It’s one thing to feel uncomfortable

It’s another to hate the blood in your veins

It’s one thing to get disowned

It’s another to change your name


[Chorus]

And I’m sorry that it took me so long to finally understand

That the feelings you were feeling made you feel, oh ho, so bad

There's no such thing as an overreaction

It’s just a very strong reaction

I feel I very strongly react in almost every situation

And I wish that I didn’t
