Stop  fucking around with my emotions
 I like you better when you're numb
 I'm sick and tired of false devotion
 Devote yourself to moving on
 Or suck it up  and let it go
 But you're always  out to get  me
You're  the snake hidden in my daffodils  when I'm picking flowers
That's  just my luck these days
Why  can't you just be happy  for  me?
You're  the break lines failing as  my  car swerves off the freeway
It  kind of feels like sabotage
Why  can't you just be happy  for
Why  can't you just be happy for me?

You  think your opinions make you savy
 Your running mouth falls on deaf  ears
 You say you're winning 'cause your laughing
 Well I'm crying crocodile tears
 Just suck it up and let it go
 But you're always  out to get  me
You're  the snake hidden in my daffodils when I'm picking flowers
That's  just my luck these days
 Why can't you just be happy for me?
You're  the break lines failing as my car swerves off the freeway
It  kind of feels like sabotage
 Why can't you just be happy for,
Why  can't you just be happy for me?
Why  can't you just be happy for
Why  can't you just be happy for me?
 I'll never be good enough no, I'll never be good enough
Why  can't you just be happy for me?
 I'll never be good enough no, I'll never be good enough
 But you're always  out to get  me
You're  the snake hidden in my daffodils when I'm picking flowers
That's  just my luck these days
 Why can't you just be happy for me?
You're  the break lines failing as my car swerves off the freeway
It  kind of feels like sabotage
 Why can't you just be happy for,
