[Verse]
I love to build up
Then burn it down
I light a match
To blow it out
I'm blowing up
But slowin' down
Don't act surprised
I don't stick around
Say I don't hate you at all
And I've put a hole in my wall
And that's not like me at all
Think I turned into someone I don't know

[Chorus]
I'm sorry I'm made this way
Why don't you feel like novocaine instead of razor blades?
Love fades away, I know
But you're pretendin' like you hatin' me when you don't

[Post-Chorus]
They say be careful what you wish for
I wish I could feel more
(I wish I could feel more, I wish I could feel more)
And when I drove right off the highway
I blamed it on the billboard
(I blamed it on the billboard, I blamed it on the billboard)
[Chorus]
I'm sorry I'm made this way
Why don't you feel like novocaine instead of razor blades?
Fades away, I know
But you're pretendin' like you hatin' me when you don't

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I'm sorry I'm made this way
Why don't you feel like novocaine instead of razor blades?
Fades away, I know
But you're pretendin' like you hatin' me when you don't

[Post-Chorus]
They say be careful what you wish for
I wish I could feel more
(I wish I could feel more, I wish I could feel more)
And when I drove right off the highway
I blamed it on the billboard
