Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Somebody's screaming
Looking at the ceiling, oh!
Everything's so funny
I don't have any money, oh!
People don't even know me
But they know how to show me, oh!
[Verse 2]
Why can't you be nicer to me?
[Verse 3]
My pride is dying
I think I'm all done lying, oh!
Nobody's sharing
So I stopped caring, oh!
All alone and walking
Nobody's talking, oh!
[Verse 4]
Why can't you be nicer to me?
[Verse 5]
Well, the wind is blowing
Where am I going?
Oh!
Off a bridge and falling
Nobody's calling, oh!
On the ground and laying
Nobody's praying, oh!
[Verse 6]
Why can't you be nicer to me?
