[Verse 1]
Primal, evil, what am I?
Tongue-tied 'til the day I die
There's no love made with mermaids
It's just distraction, so they say
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm too tired to care about it
Can't you see this in my face, my face?
[Chorus]
When I feel this strange, can I go through this again?
When I feel this strange, can I go through this again?
[Verse 2]
It's a sorry state you're getting in
The same excuse is wearing thin
There's no self-control left in me
What was not will never will be
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm too tired to care about it
Can't you see this in my face, my face?
[Chorus]
When I feel this strange, can I go through this again?
When I feel this strange, can I go through this again?
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm too tired to care about it
Can't you see this in my face?
The emphasis is on coping
Can't you see this in my face, my face?
[Chorus]
When I feel this strange, can I go through this again?
When I feel this strange, can I go through this again?
When I feel this strange, can I go through this again?
When I feel this strange, can I go through this again?
(Can I be dreaming or am I just coping?)
[Outro]
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
