Elysa's Got a Problem
 

Elysa's got a problem
She doesn't understand
Social cues we adhere to
She needs a helping hand


Elysa's got this temper... she's...
not to mention insecure
Elysa's got a problem
Of this we all are sure


Chorus: 
When love stares her in the face
She doesn't see it
'Cause her anger and paranoia 
Stand in her way
With the bitterness
And the blame

 
Elysa's got a problem
She cannot explain
The absence of a friendship
That she's fostered and maintained

 
Elysa gets so stressed out
Something happened long ago
Elysa's got a problem
Don't think she wants to know


Chorus: 
When love stares her in the face
She doesn't see it
'Cause her anger and paranoia 
Stand in her way
With the bitterness
And the blame

 
Bridge: 
You need someone to talk to 
Baby it's okay... it's okay
You need somewhere 
To rest your head but baby
Not here... not here


So she meets him on the internet
I do not see an end
Elysa's got a problem... when...
Next day she calls him 'friend'

 
Chorus: 
When love stares her in the face
She doesn't see it
'Cause her anger and paranoia 
Stand in her way
With the bitterness

When love stares her in the face
I hope one day she sees it
When her anger and paranoia
Have gone away
With the bitterness
And the ugliness
And the pettiness
The vindictiveness
.... And her shame...
