lyrics

i think of going home but don't want to be alone
so i stay awhile, bending smiles
our little time on earth, i know what it is worth
so i spend it while sending out smiles
now, i thought i knew what i was missing

when i was a child i said "hello" once in a while
but not one to smile, a bashful child
now that we are here and we've said goodbye to fear
we can toss it out, bathwater with child
now, i thought i knew what i was missing

but i don't know the way out of my shell, way out of hell
i'm lonely as fuck, cannot you tell?

i don't know the way out of my shell, way out of hell
i'm lonely as fuck, cannot you tell?
i've begun to think i wear it well
that's why i sound my bell

give it up or live it up
you're never gonna fix yourself
give it up or live it up
you're never gonna fix yourself

well, live it up or give it up
you're never gonna fix yourself
well, live it up or give it up
you're never gonna fix yourself
well, give it up or live it up
you're never gonna fix yourself
well, give it up or live it up
you're never gonna fix yourself

but i don't know the way out of my shell, way out of hell
i'm lonely as fuck, cannot you tell?
i've begun to think i wear it well
that's why i sound my bell
