EmYou keep Cpushing me away Din Bspite of what you Csay
I Dfound out yesterBday that EmI'd been Cwasting all of my Dtime
BTrying to make you smilCe, Dtrying to make things Bseem worth...
EmWhile you've been Cpushing me aDround in Bspite of what I dCo
DTrying to make things Bgood for...
EmYou, take your Ceconomy car and your Dsuitcase, take your Bpsycho little Cdogs
DTake it all aBway
EmYou've been Cracing through my Dmind, you're Bpicking up in Cspeed
DYou're driving recklessBly
It's like a Emcar crash Chappening on my Dstreet, broken Bbodies at my Cfeet
And Dsirens on the Bway
They're too lEmate, 'cos Cnobody's going to Dsave us
We're Brubber-neckers Cdream, we're Dburning Bgasoline
EmGo, take your Ceconomy car and your Dsuitcase, take your Bpsycho little Cdogs
DTake it all aBway
EmGo, Cgo ahead and destDroy this
BBetter come with an arCmy
DAre you feeling, Bfeeling okay, baby
