[Verse 1]
Sugarboy, I'm in need
How I wish for somethin' sweet
Sugarboy, I am weak
Got a crush on tragedy
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, here I go
A casualty hangin' on from the balcony
Oh, here I go

I am a lot like you (Boys)
I am alone like you
I am a lot like you (Boys)
I am alone like you (Girls)
I am a lot like you (Boys)
I am alone like you

Makin' a scene, oh here I am, your pain machine
[Chorus]
I am a lot like you (Boys)
I am alone like you (Girls)
I am a lot like you (Boys)
I am alone like you
I am a lot like you (Boys)
I am alone like you (Girls)
I am a lot like you (Boys)
I am alone like you
