Lyrics:

It's the reason for my pain

in a season to celebrate

I don't wanna be full of hate for anybody

but it's to..

late

everyone has been in my face

telling me that im a disgrace

showin me things that i must face

telling me that they need there...

Space

I can't love you anymore

im scared of the sound of it

it's the reason why im down

i beatin and pushed around

hit the ceiling without a sound

everyone i know considers me a...

Clown

I can't love you anymore

i'm scared of the sound of it

••••

Sorry if it's a mess, i made it in an email window. Keep on playing!

Lemme know if you find any mistakes,

especially in the end section of the solo ; )

See ya!
