Lydia Loveless More Like Them lyrics

Well I hear that there's a party tonight
and I probably won't go, but thanks for the invite.
Cause I'd rather stay home and drink gallons of wine.
And that must be why nobody stops by.

Why I get so angry when I go out.
Why you think I think too much and I should just calm down.
You can't take me anywhere, so you hide me out.
Then you ask why I think you'll never love me,
I don't know why.

Why can't I be more like them?
The kind of people who go out of their way to make new friends.
I guess I don't give a good god-damn about you and I'm making amends.
Oh honey, why can't I be more like them?

You don't believe me when I say I want to be alone.
You think there's someone here when I don't pick up the phone.
And now you can't believe I won't talk, honey, our love.
Well, you'll get used to it, it's going to be a hell of a ride, though up.

Why can't I be more like them?
The kind of people who feel sad when relationships end.
Oh honey I don't want you now.
But it's not about him.

Oh I sure wish you were more like that.
Oh, and why can't I be more like them?

You get away with s*** that I never will.
Honey you think I do these things to men just to be cruel?
Cause it's always got to be about wanting another man.
Oh, but she just needed some space.
Why can't I be like that?
Oh you just need to get laid?
Why can't I be like that?

Cause I gave you everything I had.
All my cheap a** beer and cigarettes.
Oh now you want your money back.
Well, I'm sorry, baby, but I still don't have it.

But why can't I be more like them?
The kind of people who can still manage to get upset.
Well if you that think I'm so f***ing emotionally dead,
it's because I am.
I could leave you more like that.
Oh why can't I be more like them?
