  • "Sometimes, things get a little hazy
    Sometimes, I think I'm just a little crazy
    I don't even know my own name
    Soon all of me will go up in flames
    Wearing scars, on my arms and in my eyes
    Are you friends or enemies in disguise
    So hard, when everything just runs against me
    Jealous words, turn into a love/hate frenzy
    Won't someone, lend me a helping hand
    Time is up, to the time that's left undone
    Time to grab my hat, grab my coat, I gotta load my gun
    Silly things always aare the ones that turn out worst
    And it seems
    The ones that love you always hurt you the most
    Won't someone, please understand
    Won't someone, lend me a helping hand
    Won't someone, please take the time to think
    That your actions and words
    They don't always say what they mean
    Since I was a child, I used to dream of many things
    Superstars, the bizarre, kings and their pretty queens
    Now it seems, I need a shot, a drink to jog my thoughts
    Why does this happen all the time
    Is it, is it just because
    Because no-one will understand
    Won't someone, lend me a helping hand
    Won't someone, take the time to think
    That your actions and words
    They don't always say what they mean" Writer/s: BRAD HEANEY, DAVID GLEESON, GRANT WALMSLEY, PAUL WOSEEN, RICHARD LARA
