Over The Rhine - Happy With Myself Lyrics

I'm happy with myself
I'm happy with myself
and I don't have
what it takes
to please you

I've been trying
to write you a letter
I've been trying
for two or three years
maybe I
could just say it better
practice some
in front of a mirror
here
oh

I've been trying
to build you a heaven
crowns of thorns
in Mason jars
angels that dance
on pins and needles
maybe I've tried
a little too hard
oh
