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
