Lyrics
So, you've gone and called someone stupid
And, in response, they've damaged your eye
But there is where the conflict must end
Lest you both end up blind
Sometimes the problems at play
Are not all plain to see
So we lash out at our loved ones
Disregarding our bond sanctity
There are several sides
to us that may seem abstract at first
Until we discover where everything fits, and
People can be like a half-missing puzzle set;
As we find the pieces
Things make more and more sense!
I had this problem where I'd
often hide my less-than-awesome feelings
So when I would feel like sobbing, I'd just smile and crack jokes!
I thought that that was coping, only joking
Never showing sadness
Hoping it would go away!
Did that work?
Nope!
I felt bad!
Aw, Pat...
It's okay
How's that?
Everybody gets sad
Even dads that have people to care for
And therefore
You don't have to hide your pain
Life without rainy days
Is incomplete
On the subject of storm clouds...
'Cause, you know. You need. Storm clouds to make. Rain
I'm just gonna get into it
You once knew me as real gloomy
This weird spooky, broody dude
'Cause I knew you'd listen to me
As too scary to ignore
I thought that I could take it
All the hate could just be shaken
But when you lo— care for someone
Not much hurts more than their scorn
I also felt bad
Oh come now...
In a different way...
Different how?
By bad I mean, well, mean
But I did what I thought I had to
Which is bad too!
I don't have to act all tough...
Sometimes love is enough...
Or what we need!
That was a quaint little review
