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
And then you ask why I think you never loved me now
Why can't I be more like them?
The kind of people who go out of their way to make new friends
'Cause I don't give a good goddamn about you; I'm not 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 want to talk, honey, oh no
Well you'll get used to it, it's going to be a hell of a ride though
So why can't I be more like them?
The kind of people who feel sad when relationships end
Well honey I don't want you now
But it's not about him
Oh honey why can't I be more like them?
Why can't I be more like them?
'Cause they get away with shit that I never will
You'd think that I do these things to them 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 cheapest beer and cigarettes
And now you want your money back
Well I'm sorry baby but I still don't have it
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 fucking emotionally dense
It's 'cause I am
Why can't you be more like that?
And why can't I be more like them?
