Oh my, I am wasting my time
I try pretending I'm fine
As I wither away, remember my name down the line
I am barely alive

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

And I am losing my mind

I am wasting my time
I try pretending I'm fine
As I wither away, remember my name down the line
I am barely alive
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
