 1ST VERSE
 If you had a bad time  at one  of my parties
 Well I wouldn't  expect to be seeing  you soon and that's fine
 You have to know what and why
 Those things  make you happy
 You have to know that a second  guess ain't worth a try
 Just some words of advice
 Maybe you've heard  them before but here goes
 Just be true to yourself  if it lands you in hell  at least now you know
 Loud and clear  is your heart  big and bright are the places  you might
 someday  go
 With one million things holding  you down, why you're one  of those things
 I don't know,  no big deal  gotta go
 2ND VERSE
 If you're up to your ears
 In blood, sweat and wasted years
 I'm hoping you're going to open your throat
 And just scream
 You have to know when, why
 Which ones miss you when you die
 You have to know a second guess ain't worth the salt in your eye
 It just sits  on my shoulders, you're breaking  my neck
 We get crazy  with age, now you're under  my bed
 And it's dark  all the time,  all the time
