Though we don’t fight I’m up all night
Trying to see in my sleep
Are those stars or doubts that twinkle?
In my bed or mind the wrinkle?
You’re the bed bug creep
Into my uncertainties seep
Chorus
You make my mind scream
I never asked for this attention
In the end, weigh your mean-s
I stand by the good of my intentions
I asked you to be my dreams
Not the nightmares of your invention
I didn’t know it was mine
Until you said I had a problem
Better to have than to be
Am I blind or can I see?
My actions harmless, but you’re welcome
Of innocence you’ve robbed them
Chorus
Call me a mental disorder
There’s a sickness in my head
I can’t tell if what’s inside
Is a dis-ease that will spread
To you, I wish to cause no harm
I might be better off dead
Maybe you can cure my faults
Take back what you said
Lying down we’re standing off
Ruffled in sheets and blame
Can you judge me in a mirror?
You have me feeling pretty queer
Though you call me names
Of myself I’m not ashamed
Though you call me names
Of myself I’m not ashamed
