I didnt know any better and i gave my dog a bone
It got caught inside his body and cut him up like sticks and stones
He shit blood and green diarrhea all over the kitchen
My mom went crazy but i didnt have much of a reaction
He was gonna be fine him dying i couldnt imagine
And i was right he turned out okay in the end nothing much happened
My mom is always so over dramatic
But i cant help but think there must be something to her antics
She really feels things are all so important
I know better, my emotions make sense
Itd be nice to cry about somebody else
Its be nice to cry about somebody else for once
Stuck inside i only ever think about myself
Itd be real nice to cry for somebody else
My great grandad he was 99 years old
He caught pneumonia or something and he was in the hospital
My mom was by his bed and she was wailin so hard god heard
I was kind of awkward
So i forced myself to think what if he died
I thought and thought and then i really cried
Afterwards i felt pretty dumb
When i saw that in the family me and my mom
Were the only ones acting so over the top hysterical
Because i kinda knew hed be fine all along
Itd be nice to cry about somebody else
Its be nice to cry about somebody else for once
Stuck inside i only ever think about myself
Itd be real nice to cry for somebody else
My emotions they were always right
My grandad and my dog were both perfectly fine
But id trade those stupid emotions anyday
For the smart ones i feel when i sit around and hate myself
Itd be real nice to cry for somebody else
