Sometimes I want to wrap my arms around myself,
and smile and cry all at once,
and sing into the sky how much I hate life,
but how much I love life,
all at once.
Sometimes I want to wrap my arms around you,
and smile and cry all at once,
and whisper into your ear how much I hate you,
but how much I love you...
all at once.
Sometimes I want to wrap my fingers around the trigger of a gun,
and smile and cry all at once,
and scream to the world how much I hate it,
how much I love it,
all at once.
How I can't bear it any longer.
Sometimes I want to put that gun against my head,
and smile and cry all at once,
screaming inaudible profanities
about how the world is corrupt, but beautiful,
all at once.
Sometimes I want to pull that trigger,
so that all of the smiling,
all of the crying,
and all of the screaming will stop,
all at once.
