lyrics

You're taking it hard because you didn't receive
The love that you felt you deserved to receive.
It's a shock when your usual ways to get by
Don't work anymore, tell the world you concede.

There's a clock that lives in my head, in my heart
It loves to tell the time when things fell apart.
Just when I think I forgot all about it
It gets louder and louder. It 's closer, it's clearer .
It goes tick-a-tick-a-toc-toc- listen to me
So I go take a walk walk walk to the beat
On any other day I might win at ignoring it
But as for this day, I'll just admit defeat.
