How the hell could i have been so dumb?
As an outspoken man with a well sharpened tongue,
I sorta thought i'd start to change with age
But i've just stayed the same.

Call me crazy, but today i'm embracing facts:
A past full of mistakes which i can't take back.
It's a cryin' shame
That i'd drag this out just to pass the blame.

How the hell could i have been so weak?
A plush backseat flips my switch on to speak and says
"your common sense will never pay the rent."
Harsh words from a path that i seldom choose.
I'll scream at the wall as you sing the blues
To the minor chords that you and i simply can't afford
