I cried myself awake the other day My girlfriend didn't know just what to say I dreamt about a dog that I once knew Now I think of it, I think it was about you I've been having trouble dealing with the truth It's like a sweet ice-cream You bite it with a front tooth I was a kid who hated healthy foods And now I've grown up loving fruit Things don't stay the same, so what's the use? And I've been going through some changes And I hate it so damn much And I keep turning up my nose To everything I used to love And all those easy going things They're now going so damn rough I woke up crying about a dog And I fell asleep crying about us Thinkin' 'bout how I am quiet when Someone says something that I can't comprehend I know that I'm not fully educated So what would my opinion mean? But the more I learn, I hate it And it makes me want to scream about The fact that I was raised up Having everything I need And though I'm loving all these memories They sometimes make me bleed I've been going through some changes And I hate it so damn much And I keep turning up my nose To all those things I used to love And all those easy going things They're now going so damn rough I woke up crying about a dog And I fell asleep crying about us You know those dreams where you can Control time and cheat, well They bring me such ecstasy and such jealously I wanna go straight back to sleep And they're amusing me, I'm confused to be So in love with what it used to be But I refuse to be living in fantasies Because that's just somewhere I can't be And I'm been going through these changes And I hate it so damn much And I keep turning up my nose To everything I used to love And all those easy going things They're now going so damn rough I woke up crying about a dog And I fell asleep cryin' 'bout us I'm cryin' 'bout us And I'm cryin' bout us
