[Verse 1: Anthony Raneri, Spencer Charnas]
Don't be alarmed, just pay attention
'Cause I can explain this little point of contention
Okay, maybe I can't, but I'm gonna try to
I pay by the word, so here's the check that I write you
You see, I never pass go, I don't collect nothing
Can't get ahead, always looking for something more
And I know now it's not your fault

[Chorus: Anthony Raneri]
When you say you don't want me around here no more
And I know that's the least I can do
While I'm lying awake, I will count my mistakes
Let the sheep take a break, I could do
With a little patience

[Verse 2: Anthony Raneri, Spencer Charnas]
Let me try this again, but less heavy-handed
I can tell by your face that you're getting offended
Could probably stand to be more careful
When choosing my words, I know that I'm such a handful
You see I'm scared of myself and what I'm becoming
Can't catch a break, always looking for something more
And I know now it's all my fault

[Chorus: Anthony Raneri]
When you say you don't want me around here no more
And I know that's the least I can do
While I'm lying awake, I will count my mistakes
Let the sheep take a break, I could do
With a little patience
[Bridge: Anthony Raneri]
I know I ruined everything
So when you go, please leave a light on
I am out of things to say
So when you go, please leave a light on

[Chorus: Anthony Raneri]
When you say you don't want me around here no more
And I know that's the least I can do
While I'm lying awake, I will count my mistakes
Let the sheep take a break, I could do
With a little patience
