Aunt Louise is losing solitaire
She takes her medicine like it is air
Her air-conditioning drips like summer
Which has long been over
Feeling under the weather

Ooooo, la la

Why’s it so hard
Its so hard
Its so

Quiet Jack is shooting clay pigeons
So he doesn’t have to listen to the fighting in the kitchen
All the knives are missing
They are at his throat
But he tells no one
He would rather choke

Oooooo, la la

why’s it so hard
Its so hard
Its so

Sister Martha’s got her
Cross to bear
She’s buried her dreams like
Seeds of despair
They grow like weeds on the convent stairs
So she’s bleaching them dead
With her tears

Ooooo, la la

Why’s is so hard
Its so hard
It so

Well you and me
Baby, we got all the love we need
But I’m eating stale saltines
Praying our ends meet
Meet me at the bar
We’ll have one last drink
Here’s to nothing good
Ever coming easy

Ooooo, la la

Why’s it so hard
Its so hard
Its so

I make
I make poor choices
I’ll divorce this angel from my neck
You are a drug
A side effect

I break
I break rocks
Along your bed
You got a job, a wife
I’ll never wed

I’M LONELY AS A CELEBRITY
I’m so disconnected that I can’t feel
And I don’t feel like checking in today
No, I don’t feel like checking in today

And I fake
I fake excitement
For the world that we could change
But I don’t want to change today

I’m paranoid
I’m just a toy
Another spoil
from the war you won
You’re all talk
I am no fun

I’M LONELY AS A CELEBRITY
I’m so disconnected, I can’t feel
And I don’t feel like checking in today
No, I don’t feel like checking in today

And I’m breathless
I’m desperate
for you to leave,
just let me be
Or keep me company

CAUSE I’M LONELY AS A CELEBRITY
And I’m so disconnected that I can’t feel
And I don’t feel like checking in today
No, I don’t feel like checking in today
No, I don’t feel like checking in today

L.A.
I got no one else to blame
Help me
Find out how to change
To reach myself
By losing my way

Austin
There’s a cost of living loose
We miss out
On the one’s we don’t choose

I’ve got nothing
I can hold onto
There are too many ways
To get to you

Montreal
It don’t take much to fall
Teach me to slip
Without losing it all

I’ve got nothing
I can hold on to
There are too many ways
To get to you

I’m gonna take
I’m gonna take
I’m gonna take them all

I might break
I might break
I might break my heart

I might break
I might break
I might break my heart

I might break
I might break
I might break my heart
