My mom says I'm looking better
My friends say that I seem swell
My shrink thinks I'm improving
At least for someone who went through hell
I threw out all my paintings
Cuz they only made me blue
Now I'm painting different boys
And not a single one even looks like you
So baby, baby
Don't beat yourself up
Please
I swear I'm just as happy as can be
No more of your silly games
And my mind no longer chants your name
And baby, baby, please, my baby
Just one more thing
Don't believe a word I say
Don't believe a word I say
Don't believe a single goddamn word I say
I miss you everyday
I sleep so sound without you
I can barely remember your voice
I eat breakfast with my sisters
And never, ever wonder if I made the right choice
So baby, baby
Don't beat yourself up
Please
I swear I'm just as happy as can be
No more of your silly games
And my mind no longer chants your name
And baby, baby, please, my baby
Just one more thing
Don't believe a word I say
Don't believe a word I say
Don't believe a single goddamn word I say
I miss you everyday
I don't write your name in the margins anymore
Your clothes no longer litter my bedroom floor
I haven't dreamed about you in quite some time
And when my dad asks I say I'm doing just fine
So baby, baby
Don't beat yourself up
Please
I swear I'm just as happy as can be
No more of your silly games
And my mind no longer chants your name
And baby, baby, please, my baby
Just one more thing
Don't believe a word I say
Don't believe a word I say
Don't believe a single goddamn word I say
I miss you everyday
