Count Your Blessings

from Less Than Three by Marjorie Halloran

/

lyrics

"Count your blessings", they say,
"And be thankful for all that you've got"
That's easy for you to say,
You're every little perfect thing I'm not

You got a lover, you already told me,
That's all well and good for you now
I can't get caught up in your shallow anxieties,
I have more important things to worry about

Ooh, I don't know who I am anymore
Ooh, I don't know who I want to be
Ooh, I don't know where I'm going tomorrow
All I know is I wouldn't choose this life if I had the choice

Call me beautiful, but that ain't so
I wanted to be someone, but that's just not the way it seems
Call me a genius, but you'll know more than I will ever know
I guess the only things I'll end up having are my broken dreams

It's not my fault, can you just see it in my eyes?
It's just that things keep happening to me
Shattered promises, and every now and then a bad surprise
And then I'm told I have no sense of responsibility

Ooh, I don't know who I am anymore
Ooh, I don't know who I want to be
Ooh, I don't know where I'm going tomorrow
All I know is I wouldn't choose this life if I had the choice

I don't want to be here anymore
My parents called me hopeless, and they were sincere
Soon I'll be able to open up life's door
And get myself the hell away from here

"Count your blessings", they said
"And be thankful for all that was given to you"
Well, you can keep believing that in your deluded head
And as you do, why not run a mile in my shoes?

Ooh, I don't know who I am anymore
Ooh, I don't know who I want to be
Ooh, I don't know where I'm going tomorrow
All I know is I wouldn't choose this life if I had the choice

Ooh, I don't know who I am anymore
Ooh, I don't know who I want to be
Ooh, I don't know where I'm going tomorrow
All I know is I wouldn't choose this life if I had the choice
