lyrics

Can I help it if your skin don’t fit you right?
Can I help it if you’re frozen inside?
Can I help it if you’re never gonna be
Like the ones always outside smiling, like they’re on TV?

Can I help it if you Dad don’t treat you right?
Can I help it if he stays out all night?
Can I help it if you’re never gonna see
All those places you go off to when you’re dreaming?

I watch you stumble, then I watch you fall
You come up screaming, that I don’t care at all
But you never ask me to leave
No, you’re rather have me around like some fly on the wall

So can I help it if your skin don’t fit you right?
Can I help it if you’re frozen inside?
Can I help it if you’re never gonna be
Like the ones always outside smiling. Like they’re on TV?

Can I help it if your Mom don’t treat you right?
Can I help it if she don’t tuck you in at night?
Can I help it if you’re never gonna see
All those places you go off to when you’re dreaming?
