The Irony of Choking on a Lifesaver Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Stop fucking around with my emotions
I like you better when you're numb
I'm sick and tired of false devotion
Devote yourself to moving on
Or suck it up and let it go
But you're always out to get me
[Chorus]
You're the snake hidden in my daffodils when I'm picking flowers
That's just my luck these days
Why can't you just be happy for me?
You're the break lights failing as my car swerves off the freeway
It kind of feels like sabotage
Why can't you just be happy for-
Why can't you just be happy for me?
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na (Why can't you just be happy for-)
[Verse 2]
You think opinions make you savvy
(Like you're some kind of expert)
Your running mouth falls on deaf ears
You say you're winning 'cause you're laughing
Well, I'm crying crocodile tears
Just suck it up and let it go
Stop fucking around with my emotions
I like you better when you're numb
I'm sick and tired of false devotion
Devote yourself to moving on
Or suck it up and let it go
But you're always out to get me
[Chorus]
You're the snake hidden in my daffodils when I'm picking flowers
That's just my luck these days
Why can't you just be happy for me?
You're the break lights failing as my car swerves off the freeway
It kind of feels like sabotage
Why can't you just be happy for-
Why can't you just be happy for me?
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na (Why can't you just be happy for-)
[Verse 2]
You think opinions make you savvy
(Like you're some kind of expert)
Your running mouth falls on deaf ears
You say you're winning 'cause you're laughing
Well, I'm crying crocodile tears
Just suck it up and let it go
[Pre-Chorus]
But you're always out to get me
[Chorus]
You're the snake hidden in my daffodils when I'm picking flowers
That's just my luck these days
Why can't you just be happy for me?
You're the brake lights failing as my car swerves off the freeway
It kind of feels like sabotage
Why can't you just be happy for
Why can't you just be happy for me?
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na (Why can't you just be happy for)
[Bridge]
Why can't you just be happy for me?
I'll never be good enough, no
I'll never be good enough
Why can't you just be happy for me?
I'll never be good enough, no
I'll never be good enough
[Pre-Chorus]
But you're always out to get me
But you're always out to get me
[Chorus]
You're the snake hidden in my daffodils when I'm picking flowers
That's just my luck these days
Why can't you just be happy for me?
You're the brake lights failing as my car swerves off the freeway
It kind of feels like sabotage
Why can't you just be happy for
Why can't you just be happy for me?
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na (Why can't you just be happy for)
[Bridge]
Why can't you just be happy for me?
I'll never be good enough, no
I'll never be good enough
Why can't you just be happy for me?
I'll never be good enough, no
I'll never be good enough
[Pre-Chorus]
But you're always out to get me
[Chorus]
You're the snake hidden in my daffodils when I'm picking flowers
That's just my luck these days
Why can't you just be happy for me?
You're the brake lights failing as my car swerves off the freeway
It kind of feels like sabotage
Why can't you just be happy for
Why can't you just be happy for me?
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na (Stop fucking around with my emotions)
Na na na na na
Na na na na na (Why can't you just be happy for)
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na (Stop fucking around with my emotions)
Na na na na na
Na na na na na (Why can't you just be happy for me?)
You're the snake hidden in my daffodils when I'm picking flowers
That's just my luck these days
Why can't you just be happy for me?
You're the brake lights failing as my car swerves off the freeway
It kind of feels like sabotage
Why can't you just be happy for
Why can't you just be happy for me?
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na (Stop fucking around with my emotions)
Na na na na na
Na na na na na (Why can't you just be happy for)
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na (Stop fucking around with my emotions)
Na na na na na
Na na na na na (Why can't you just be happy for me?)
