[Verse 1]
I get so scared and I feel such guilt, like when you first drew blood
Although the situation is improving
But when your mood is good, it gives us all a lift
Although your secret language is confusing

[Chorus]
And when I work it all out, I'll tell you
I know you know I don't know what I'm doing
Did I pass it on, all the anger and doubt?
Your behaviour leads to one conclusion
When I work it all out, I'll tell you

[Verse 2]
My tastes are still the same, it's just my habits that've changed
The nightly ritual is new, but feels as old as time
I guide my hands along the contours of your mother's back
But there are knots I can't erase, I end up losing track
You're no accessory, you are a part of me
It's my job to conceal the difficulty of the moment

[Chorus]
And when I work it all out, I'll tell you
I know you know I don't know what I'm doing
Did I pass it on, all the anger and doubt?
Your behaviour leads to one conclusion

[Bridge]
I helped make you and I've condemned you
To see my frailties, the fate of a family
But I helped make you and I'll placate you
I helped make you and I'll placate you

[Chorus]
And when I work it all out, I'll tell you
I know you know I don't know what I'm doing
Did I pass it on, all the anger and doubt?
Your behaviour leads to one conclusion
When I work it all out, I'll tell you
I know you know I don't know what I'm doing
Did I pass it on, all the anger and doubt?
I know you know I don't know what I'm doing
