My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I..
My tea got cold, why...
got out of bed at all
I am always in a bad mood.
The morning rain clouds up my window..
The morning rain clouds up my window
and I can't see at all
Can't see anything
And even if I could it'll all be gray,
but your picture on my wall
But there is your picture on the wall,
It reminds me that it's not so bad,
It reminds me that it's not so bad, not yet It's not so bad..
It's not so bad...
