Lyrics
verse 1
im so happy becasue today
I found my friends
are in my head.
Im so Ugly but thats ok
cuz so are you
we've broken our mirrars.
sunday morning is everyday for all i care
and im not scared.
and i light candles in a daze cuz i found god.

Chorus
yeah, yeah, yeah, (repeat a bunch)

verse 2
In so lonely but thats ok,
i shaved my head,
and im not scared.
and just maybe,
im to blame for all i heard
but im not sure
im so excited
and i can't wait to meet you there
but i don't care
im so horney but thats ok
my will is good

Chorus
yeah, yeah, yeah, (repeat a bunch)

bridge

i miss you im not gonna crack
i love you im not gonna crack
i kill you im not gonna crack

verse 3
im so happy becasue today
I found my friends
are in my head.
Im so Ugly but thats ok
cuz so are you
we've broken our mirrars.
sunday morning is everyday for all i care
and im not scared.
and i light candles in a daze cuz i found god.

Chorus
yeah, yeah, yeah, (repeat a bunch)

bridge
i like it im not gonna crack
i miss you im not gonna crack
i love you im not gonna crack
i kill you im not gonna crack
