The World Is My Bastard

from O My Garde! by The Gardes

lyrics

Once, I was happy
but now you've left me,
and I'm feeling oh so crappy
oh no, I thought that I had it mastered
but now I find out the world is my bastard

If I can't see through my depression
don't let me blow off my head with a gun
that's not much fun

once, we were joyous
but then every little thing seemed to annoy us
oh no, I thought that I had the answer
and maybe I do, but it's just not a good answer

If I can't see through my time of gloom
Don't let me jump right on into my tomb
it's way too soon

I won't tell you a lie
(ooh with stars I'm alone)
I lie in bed I'll cry
(ooh every night)
You were the precious gift
(Ooh with stars I'm alone)
that I had to shoplift

Cause you know that I have too
many
sides to
express
I am a mess!

Won't you just be honest
don't you want good things upon us?
Now come, now come up to my door
How come, how come we can't have it no more?

And if I can't see through this time of grief
Don't let me bring my own eternal sleep
that's way too deep

I won't tell you a lie
(Ooh with stars I'm alone)
I'll lie in bed I'll cry
(ooh every night)
you were the precious gift
(ooh with stars I'm alone)
I don't want to shoplift

Cause you know that I have too
many
sides to
express
I am a mess!

Won't you make a promise
We will always make good upon us
Now come, now come up to my door
how come, how come we can't have it no more?
Oh, I don't see why not!
