Lyrics
I don't smoke cigarettes and I try hard not to forget the things that really matter to me.
I thought I'd live off my smile and I did just that for awhile, but then I lost who I was supposed to be.
And every time I think I've figured out what I've been looking for,
I can't decide between what I want...
And what I need.
What I need...
I don't really like to drink because when I do it makes me think of all the bad things I have done and seen.
I broke a heart or two because I thought that's just what you do when I had my heart broken for me.
But someone came along to tell me I should stop and try my best to be somebody who knows what he wants...
from what he needs.
What he needs....
Now I can't tell the bottom from the top.
I can't tell the bottom from the top.
What I need...
