How the hell could I have been so dumb?
As an outspoken man with a well-sharpened tongue
I sort of 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 crying 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
The minor chords that you and I simply can't afford
