[Verse 1]
Oh, what's a devil to do
When those old delusions so tried and true
Don't come through like they used to?

Ugh, all my money's run out
I blew it all on a cumulus cloud
That dissipated so fast, seems the good times never last
And I always fall flat on my back, like an upside-down cat

[Chorus]
But is bad luck really such a crime?
If you won't be my valentine, could you at least give me a little bit of sympathy?

[Verse 2]
(Um, uh, oh... just like... You know what, like, never mind... Um...)

Oh, I made a silly mistake (what'd you do?)
I've given up more than I can take (uh oh!)
And left hollows in my wake

(I'm safe, I'm whole, I've got it under control)
My structure's compromised
(I'm safe, I'm whole, I've got it under control)
But you still batter at all my fault lines
(And I will protect you even if you won't protect me too)
I can't run, I can't hide, but you can't say I didn't try
[Chorus]
To retreat back into me like a catabolic seed
I want to destroy everything that's mine
If you won't be my valentine, could you at least give me a little bit of sympathy?

[Outro]
I don't care if I'm losing myself in the garden of earthly delights
I could drop dead right where I stand, and I wouldn't mind
I wouldn't mind
