lyrics

black and white TV
never ever let me down
was always there when i needed you
in my darkest hour

everyone i know
in one way or another
has some sort of undisclosed
disorder

i'm so happy with my boring shitty life
cos it makes me happy and i'm glad to be alive

driving in your car
before you passed away
it was a strange day
it took my breath away

see i can't function anymore
conversation is such a bore
surrounded by people who i'd rather see disappear
that's all

i'm so happy with my boring shitty life
cos it makes me happy and i'm glad to be alive

i've forgiven yesterday
for everything that it did
for the way i had to answer to
the monsters in my head
i remember so many days
and just like that they're gone
there's no coming back from that
and my intention was all wrong...my intention was all wrong

black and white reality
in a Polaroid fantasy
takes me away to a better place
somewhere you'll never find me

i'm so happy with my boring shitty life
cos it makes me happy and i'm glad to be alive
