lyrics

I think I’m going crazy, I’m losing control,
am I losing my mind or just my cereal bowl.
I thought I was smart but now I’m not sure.
The doctor says I’m fine, so I guess there’s no cure.
There’s always someone telling me what to do.
Did I already take my pills?
I’ve been independent my whole life through – I think I can pay my own bills, thank you.

How do I move to the next stage?
I know that it’s going to be rough.
I don’t think I’m ready yet to turn that page.
I think I’ll try to call their bluff.

It’s my own life so leave me alone;
I don’t feel like talking on the telephone.
Don’t feel like going out today.
I don’t want company, so stay away.

Don’t mean to be harsh, I don’t mean to be cruel,
but sometimes you all make me feel like an old fool.
You say we’ll all do this as a family.
But I’ve got to keep hold of me.

How do I move to the next stage?
I know it’s not going to be easy.
And when I get ready to turn that page
I know you’re all ready to help me.
Help me!
