Keep It Up

I didn't think it'd get this way,
with hearts broken and nothing to say...
I never knew what you wanted,
I can only hope that you got it.
I wish I could carry on with you,
but it's like there's nothing to do.

Sorry I didn't turn out right,
skank by day, addict by night.
Sorry I wasn't everything,
all I can do now is sing;
I wish I was daddy's dream,
mommy's excitement in that gleam.
I didn't exactly become a bore,
I wasn't exactly what you were looking for...

I'm not quite good,
but not misunderstood.
They call me rebellious,
but I must confess,
I'm just begging for attention,
that's my only intention.

Sorry I didn't turn out right,
skank by day, addict by night.
Sorry I wasn't everything,
all I can do now is sing;
I wish I was daddy's dream,
mommy's excitement in that gleam.
I didn't exactly become a bore,
I wasn't exactly what you were looking for...

The therapy,
it's nothing to me.
I'm still cutting,
I'm still a slut, and
I'm a little whore,
but I want nothing more
than a kiss on the forehead
as you read me to bed.

Sorry I didn't turn out right,
skank by day, addict by night.
Sorry I wasn't everything,
all I can do now is sing;
I wish I was daddy's dream,
mommy's excitement in that gleam.
I didn't exactly become a bore,
I wasn't exactly what you were looking for...

I'm intergalactic in the stars,
going at light speed to Mars,
can't get down to Earth,
all this arrogance actually hurts.
I just want an embrace
to make me come back from space...

Sorry I didn't turn out right,
skank by day, addict by night.
Sorry I wasn't everything,
all I can do now is sing;
I wish I was daddy's dream,
mommy's excitement in that gleam.
I didn't exactly become a bore,
I wasn't exactly what you were looking for...
