FAfter we spoke I had a dream that I broke
The teeth from a mouth of a snCake
That I choked on the teeth
They were mine all aloFng
FI picked up the pieces when I woke
Put them in a boat Cmade of things that I don't want to sFee
FI blew on the sail
Watched it drift out to sea
The further it drifted the cloCser it came to me
I can't expFlain
FSo I took it apart in a billion boxes
There was only one keyC  
BbYou might think I'm yCour enemy
BFut that don't make you mBbine
BbAnd all I have now Cis empathy
I Fwish that you'd stop Bbtrying
Oh, please stop lCying
Stop, Fla la la la la la la la la la la Cla
FPut hatred in the box then I locked it
The strongest one I Cmade
FI buried it all, grew a tree without thorns
Sat beneath the sChade
BbYou might think I'm yCour enemy
BFut that don't make you mBbine
BbAnd all I have now Cis empathy
I Fwish that you'd stop Bbtrying
Oh, please stop lCying
