Over The Rhine - Happy With Myself lyrics

I'm happy with myself

and I don't have

what it takes

to please you

I've been trying

to write you a letter

I've been trying

for two or three years

maybe I

could just say it better

practice some

in front of a mirror

here

oh

I've been trying

to build you a heaven

crowns of thorns

in Mason jars

angels that dance

on pins and needles

maybe I've tried

a little too hard

oh
