"Lately" lyrics

Lately I've been feeling a little bit neglected
When it comes to your ex-boyfriends, well I guess I'm overprotective
But it's nothing personal
I just wanted you to tell me that you care

Lately I've been thinking 'bout sticking my hand in a toaster
I never asked to take a ride on this emotional roller coaster
It's you that I want
And lately, it feels like you're not there

Lately I've been contemplating jumping in the ocean
Sometimes even Spock would show a little more emotion
Do you still love me now
As much as you loved me yesterday?

I try to let it out
I bitch, cry, moan, whine, scream, and shout today
But the wall wouldn't listen to me
Why wouldn't it listen to me?
I'm sick of always crying
I don't wanna be sick of trying
But you've gotta want me too

Lately I've been hoping for a little bit of affection
Sometimes I wish that you had come with your own set of directions
I guess it's not that easy
But I hope that you still love me anyway

Lately I've been thinking 'bout taking a vow of silence
I've never seen a monk result in any acts of violence
Or maybe I'll just cry
And hope you come around again today

Let's go

I try to let it out
I bitch, cry, moan, whine, scream, and shout today
But the wall wouldn't listen to me
Why wouldn't it listen to me?
I'm sick of always crying
I don't wanna be sick of trying
But you've gotta want me too
