You are a grade-A sociopath in my mind And you are a landslide or a landmine in my life I'm so sick of every question You've been buggin' from the start Am I what you were dreamin' of? Is this what you were dreamin' up? I can read your mind already Oh, so full of new ideas Is this what we were meant to be? Just exactly what you need So, if you ask me How I've been I'm ready to lie If you ask me How I am I'm doing alright You can tell yourself your reasons California dreamin' every night (Cut me, I start bleeding) (Come back when your heart stops beatin') I don't know which one I'm leavin' Never felt so good to say goodbye (Cut me, I start bleeding) (Come back when your heart stops beatin') Can you hear me now? Your favorite sound Are you on a cloud, blackin' out? (Yeah) But you played your part, made it hard If I walked away (yeah), you'd fall apart And I talk you down every time you call And we chalk it up to the alcohol But you weren't the best and I fear the worst Now I don't think I know what to say (yeah) If you ask me (yeah-yeah) How I've been I'm ready to lie If you ask me How I am I'm doing alright (alright, alright) ♪ (Cut me, I start bleeding) (Come back when your heart stops beating)
