Everyone wants a little empathy
A eulogy for the living
And everyone wants something more
The stars are illusions but we're still reaching
And everything gets a little old after a while doesn't it?
But we're still naïve to fall for the same bullsh--
And we indulge in the predictable scenarios
Where he gets angry and then she goes
Can you believe the state we're in?
So annoying and full of repetition
We picture life as a TV show
Where everything is so dramatic
And relationships always get cold
So we liven them up with a tragedy
Oh whatever
You'd think we'd be
Just so much smarter than that
Well, the drama is suffocating me
And I can't turn off the TV
Because it's in my mind all the time
I close my eyes but I hear the lines
"Don't cry. It's all right"
The lines between reality and TV aren't black and white
I change the channel but it's still the same
Everything is so dramatic but they make up at the end
So let's repeat the cycle again
