[Verse 1]
Sorry I haven't written
I've been in quite the mood
I've been upside down for years now
But the pay's been pretty good
But I have to write a love song
Cause my momma said I should
But I'd have to lose the minor chords
And I'm not so sure I could

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm the voice of the depressed
And that's what everyone expects
Give the people what they want
Then it hangs over your head

[Chorus]
I'm stuttering (oh whoa)
'Cause I never know what to say
I'm stuttering (oh whoa)
Can't listen to a word I say
And there's a lot of work to do
Can't carry the weight like I used to
But I'll figure it out like I always do
Sacrifice myself for you
[Verse 2]
I can't believe my mouth sometimes
I've got it pretty good
But if I ever learn to like myself
Then I'd soon be out of work
Who do I think I'm kidding
Like I'm Robert fucking Smith?
Maybe I'm trying to convince myself
That I'm someone who'd be missed

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm the voice of the depressed
And that's what everyone expects
Give the people what they want
Then it hangs over your head

[Chorus]
I'm stuttering (oh whoa)
'Cause I never know what to say
I'm stuttering (oh whoa)
Can't listen to a word I say
And there's a lot of work to do
Can't carry the weight like I used to
But I'll figure it out like I always do
Sacrifice myself for you
[Bridge]
And blessed are the heart attacks
And every sudden shortness of breath
I owe every single one of them for all of you
Patience don't pay, get my nose back in the books
So I can keep on making cash for heartless fucking crooks
And they prey on all my passions
'Cause they know as well as me
That this is the only way that I know how to be

[Chorus]
And I'm stuttering (oh whoa)
'Cause I never know what to say
Stuttering (oh whoa)
Can't listen to a word I say
And there's a lot of work to do
Can't carry the weight like I used to
But I'll figure it out like I always do
Sacrifice myself for you

'Cause I never know what to say
I'm stuttering
Can't listen to a word I say
Stuttering
Stuttering
And I sacrifice myself
