Lately
The Wohlstandskinder / The Ataris Lyrics

Lately I've been feeling a little bit neglected.
Recently, I have been feeling like you are not giving me enough attention.

When it comes to your ex-boyfriends, well, I guess I'm overprotective.
I might be too worried about you getting back with your ex-boyfriends, but this is not personal.

But it's nothing personal I just wanted you to tell me that you care.
I just need you to show that you care about me and our relationship.

Lately I've been thinking bout' stickin' my head in a toaster.
I have been feeling so down that I have considered harming myself.

I never asked to take a ride on this emotional roller-coaster
I did not sign up for all these ups and downs in our relationship.

It's you that I want, and lately it feels like you're not there.
I still want to be with you, but it seems like you are not fully present.

Lately I've been contemplating jumping in the ocean.
I have been feeling so overwhelmed that I have thought about ending my life.

Sometimes even Spock would show a little more emotion!
I feel like you are not showing enough emotion and it makes me feel worse.

Do you still love me now as much as you loved me yesterday?
I am questioning whether your feelings for me have changed.

Chorus:
Refrain

I try to let it out... I bitch, I cry, moan, whine, scream and shout today,
I try to express my emotions, but it seems like no one is listening. I feel frustrated and upset.

but the wall wouldn't listen to me! Why wouldn't it listen to me?
I feel like I am talking to a brick wall and it makes me feel even more alone.

I'm sick of always cryin' I don't wanna be sick of trying, but you've gotta want me too.
I am tired of being sad and putting all the effort into this relationship. I need you to show me that you also want this.

Lately I've been hoping for a little bit of affection.
I have been hoping for some love and attention from you.

Sometimes I wish that you had came with your own set of directions.
I wish that understanding you and our relationship was easier.

I guess it's not that easy, but I hope that you still love me anyway
I know that our relationship is complicated, but I still hope that you love me.

Lately I've been thinkin' bout' takin' a vow of silence.
I have considered isolating myself and not speaking to anyone because of how I feel.

I've never seen a monk result in any acts of violence.
I think that being silent could be better than being violent or expressing my emotions in a negative way.

Or, maybe I'll just cry and hope you come around again today.
I might just end up crying instead, waiting for you to come to me and show me that you care.
