    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 mornin' is every day 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

[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 and I don't carе

I'm so horny, that's okay, my will is good

[Chorus]

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yеah

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 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 broke our mirrors

Sunday mornin' is every day 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

[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
