Lyrics

Lithium

[Verse 1]

I'm so happy cause today

I found my friends

They're in my head

I'm so ugly

That's okay cause so are you

We broke our mirrors

Sunday morning

Is everyday for all I care

And I'm not scared

Light my candles

In a daze cause I've found God

[Chorus]

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]

I'm so lonely

That's okay

I shaved my head

And I'm not sad

And just maybe

I'm to blame for all I've heard

But I'm not sure

I'm so excited

I can't wait to meet you there

But I don't care

I'm so horny

But that's okay, my will is good

[Chorus]

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Bridge]

I like it I'm not gonna crack

I miss you, I'm not gonna crack

I love you, I'm not gonna crack

I killed you, I'm not gonna crack

I like it I'm not gonna crack

I miss you, I'm not gonna crack

I love you, I'm not gonna crack

I killed you, I'm not gonna crack

[Verse 3]

I'm so happy cause today

I found my friends

They're in my head

I'm so ugly, that's okay cause so are you

We broke our mirrors

Sunday morning is everyday for all I care

And I'm not scared

Light my candles

In a daze cause I've found God

[Chorus]

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro]

I like it I'm not gonna crack

I miss you I'm not gonna crack

I love you I'm not gonna crack

I killed you I'm not gonna crack

I like it I'm not gonna crack

I miss you I'm not gonna crack

I love you I'm not gonna crack

I killed you I'm not gonna crack
