Lithium Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm so happy cause today
I found my friends
They're in my head
I'm so ugly
That's okay cause so are you
We broke our mirrors
Sunday morning
Is everyday for all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles
In a daze cause I've found God

[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
I'm so lonely
That's okay
I shaved my head
And I'm not sad
And just maybe
I'm to blame for all I've heard
But I'm not sure
I'm so excited
I can't wait to meet you there
But I don't care
I'm so horny
But that's okay, my will is good
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
I like it I'm not gonna crack
I miss you, I'm not gonna crack
I love you, I'm not gonna crack
I killed you, I'm not gonna crack
I like it I'm not gonna crack
I miss you, I'm not gonna crack
I love you, I'm not gonna crack
I killed you, I'm not gonna crack

[Verse 3]
I'm so happy cause today
I found my friends
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, that's okay cause so are you
We broke our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles
In a daze cause I've found God
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro]
I like it I'm not gonna crack
I miss you I'm not gonna crack
I love you I'm not gonna crack
I killed you I'm not gonna crack
I like it I'm not gonna crack
I miss you I'm not gonna crack
I love you I'm not gonna crack
I killed you I'm not gonna crack

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

Muse performed their cover of this iconic Nirvana song twice in April 2014, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Cobain’s death. The first performance was at Lollapalooza Brazil, followed by one at the first weekend of Coachella. Notably, Matt was still recovering from laryngitis and having difficulty singing, so Chris sang the chorus (the yeah’s) each time.
Muse will very likely never perform this song again.
