I come to you because you are there
The world is outside, but why should I care?
I use your words to fill my empty head
It's hard to feel alive when you are dead

"Come to mama, cry your eyes out (Cry your eyes)
Let me give you a little ray of hope
But if you touch me I'll scratch your eyes out (Scratch your eyes)
Whatever made you think that I meant what I didn't say?"

The guilt I feel, the strength that drains away
The shortness of the year, the length of the day
Come to mama, cry your eyes out (Cry your eyes)
Let me give you a little ray of hope
But if you touch me I'll scratch your eyes out (Scratch your eyes)
Whatever made you think that I meant what I didn't say?"

Remember there's a guy up in the sky
Whose purpose in life is to make you cry
If you think you're going to win, I've got some news for you
The good news that you hear is very seldom true

I come to you because you are there
The world is outside, so why do I care?
Why do I care? (You shouldn't care)
Why do I care? (You shouldn't care)
Why do I care? (You shouldn't care)
Why do I care?
