Down at the bottom of the bell

Lyrics:
Well my life’s such a disaster, nothin’ ever turns out right
I’m so stressed with all my problems, can’t get any sleep at night
Everyone I know’s against me and my parents treat me bad
Now you know my whole life story, tell me does it make you sad
Taking every situation in the worst possible way
I can make anything seem bad, I know all the words to say
I exaggerate my stories, make things seem worse than they are
Drag my feet and slump my shoulders, acting sad’s where I’m a star
Chorus:
Look at me everyone down at the bottom of a well
Don’t bother rescuing me yet, I’ve not had time to whine and yell
I could climb out if I wanted, this hole’s not really that deep
At the bottom of the well, though, ‘cause that’s where I want to be
Even when the sun is shinin’ I complain of my sunburn
Sympathy and aloe vera are the things for which I yearn
When my baby wants to snuggle I say “I wanna be alone”
Fun like that just makes me happy, there’s no time to frown and moan
If I’d cast all of my cares upon the Lord as he commands
I know I’d find peace and shelter there inside His loving hands
But I’d not get the attention negativity provides
I’ll just find myself a hole, ask all the watch and jump inside
Repeat Chorus
I need somebody to tell me everything will be alright
Feeling miserable’s hard work, won’t someone pity me tonight?
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Verse 1
