Don't let me get me

Never win first place
I don't support the team
I can't take direction
And my socks are never clean

Teachers dated me
My parents hated me
I was always in a fight
cause I can't do nothin' right

Everyday I fight a war against the mirror
I can't take the person staring back at me

I'm a hazard to myself
Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
It's bad when you annoy yourself,
so irritating
Don't want to be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else

I wanna be somebody else

LA told me
you'll be a pop star
All you have to change
is everything you are

Tired of being compared
to damn Britney Spears
She's so pretty
That just ain't me

So doctor, doctor -- won't you
please prescribe me something?
A day in the life of someone else

Cause I'm a hazard to myself
Don't let me get me (No)
I'm my own worst enemy
It's bad when you annoy yourself,
so irritating
(Don't want) Don't want to be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else
Yeahhhh

Don't let me get me (Don't let me)
I'm my own worst enemy (No)
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else

So doctor, doctor -- won't you
please prescribe me something?
A day in the life of someone else
Don't let me get me

Ohhh, I'm a hazard to myself, yeah
Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
Yourselllffff
So irritating
(So irritating)
Don't wanna be my friend no more
Dont Dont
Wanna be somebody else

Don't let me get me (Don't let)
(Don't let)
I'm my own worst enemy (Don't let me get me)
Its bad when you annoy yourself
(Its bad its so bad)
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more (How)
I wanna be somebody else
(Don't let me get me) (Don't let me get me)
I'm my own worst enemy

Just like a pill

Lying here on the floor where you left me
I think I took too much
I`m crying here, what have you done?
I thought it would be fun

I can`t stay on your life support
There`s a shortage in the switch
I can`t stay on your morphine
`Cause it`s making me itch
I said I tried to call the nurse again
But she`s being a little bitch
I`ll think I`ll get out of here

Where I can run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears

And I swear you`re just like a pill
Instead of making me better
You keep making me ill
You keep making me ill

I haven`t moved from the spot where you left me
It must be a bad trip
All of the other pills were different
Maybe I should get some help

I can`t stay on your life support
There`s a shortage in the switch
I can`t stay on your morphine
`Cause it`s making me itch
I said I tried to call the nurse again
But she`s being a little bitch
I`ll think I`ll get out of here

Where I can run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears

And I swear you`re just like a pill
Instead of making me better
You keep making me ill
You keep making me ill
