Lyrics
======
I'll start this off without any words
I got so high that I scratched 'til I bled
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
The finest day that I ever had
Was when I learned to cry on command
Love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

I'm on a plain
I can't complain

My mother died every night
It's safe to say don't quote me on that
Love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
The black sheep got blackmailed again
Forgot to put on the zip code
Love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

I'm on a plain
I can't complain

Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory has stored
As a defence I'm neutered and spayed
What the hell am I trying to say

It's now time to make it unclear
To write off lines that don't make sense
Love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
One more special message to go
And then I'm done then I can go home
Love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

I'm on a plain
I can't complain

That's it! - SG
