lyrics

blame it on the weather
screwed it up again
drop me with a feather
i'm putty in your hands
no, i'm not complaining
when you kiss me where it hurts
just wish it would start raining
and wash off all this dirt
'cause I've been crawling through the mud
just to get to you
but now there's nothing left of me

it hurt too much to feel
so i cut my feelers off
stopped looking in your eyes
so they wouldn't linger on
'cause I've been staring at the darkness
for any sign of light
and burned out all my days just to last the night
and I had to eat my heart out just to stay alive
and now i'm all that's left of me

give away my burdens
trade 'em in for space
nothing left to lose
walk off the human race

I gave away my burdens just to get you
and now all that is left is me
