Gloomy
What did that mean
Was that you
Was that me
Was that perfect
What do I mean
That /was/ you
That /was/ me
And honestly
Earnestly
Isn't it just gloomy
Look at me out here just looking gloomy
Isn't it awful? Wow, you're awful. Wow, you're lovely
And I'm all gloomy
Take another sip of melancholy
Steep it with some rose
And settle in until the sunny feeling goes
I don't want to taste a sweeter lolly
I don't want a... friend
Cause if I'm happy, then the happiness might end
Keep an airtight lid on ever after
Don't open the jar
On someone who is so endearingly bizarre
Or I'll end up breaking out in laughter
That I don't want to hear
'Cause I prefer the sound of sadness over fear
But if I'm caught in between
I could hate it
I could love it
What I mean is
It's gloomy
How can all this be so fucking gloomy
Isn't this awful? Wow, it's awful. Wow, it's lovely
And I'm all gloomy
I can rattle chains and walk through plaster
But I like my walls
And I don't like the way it feels when one just falls
Something that I've wanted is at last a
Something that I've had
And no one told me that was coming dressed in plaid
Or that I'd want to be seen
I could hate you
I could-
What I mean is
I don't know why I've been waiting
For some sort of sign
But now that it's creating problems
At least the problems are mine
And for once I feel like I'm
Like I'm
Gloomy
Look at me out here just looking gloomy
Isn't it awful? Wow, you're awful. Wow, you're lovely
And I'm all gloomy
Gloomy
How can all this be so fucking gloomy
Isn't this awful? Wow, it's awful. Wow, it's lovely
And I'm all
Gloomy
Was that you
Was that me
Was that perfect
What do I mean
That /was/ you
That /was/ me
And honestly
Earnestly
Isn't it just gloomy
Look at me out here just looking gloomy
Isn't it awful? Wow, you're awful. Wow, you're lovely
And I'm all gloomy
Take another sip of melancholy
Steep it with some rose
And settle in until the sunny feeling goes
I don't want to taste a sweeter lolly
I don't want a... friend
Cause if I'm happy, then the happiness might end
Keep an airtight lid on ever after
