** this song was a big alternative hit for the band soundgarden, and chantal would occasionally perform a piano version of the song during her early concerts. these lyrics are the official lyrics to the song, and not accurate to the way chantal performed it. **

Nothing seems to kill me, no matter how hard I try
Nothing is closing my eyes
Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight
And nothing seems to break me
No matter how hard I fall nothing can break me at all
Not one for giving up though not invincible I know
I've given everything I need
I'd give you everything I own
I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone
I've given everything I could

To blow it to hell and gone
Burrow down in and
Blow up the outside world

Someone tried to tell me somethingDon't let the world bring you down
Nothing will do me in before I do myself
So save it for your own and the ones you can help

Want to make it understood
Wanting though I never would
Trying though I know it's wrong
Blowing it to hell and gone
Wishing though I never could
Blow up the outside world
