Idiot
I’ve been an idiot
I’ve been a fool
Now that it’s over
I’ve got nothing left to lose
Got into the habit
Of not getting it right
I tore myself half to death
Just to live up to the hype

You know I told her all my secrets
When I didn’t have no secrets to tell
See, I was bound and determined
To drive the nail into the coffin myself

If I am gonna carve my name into this shame
Like a tall oak tree made of all the pain
It didn’t work, I didn’t care, I just wanted to be there for a while

You have been patiеnt
You have been kind
Tried to make this lovе we can’t get right
Like a dog in the window
Or a breath from your chest
You give and give and give until there’s nothing left
I got rid of all the memories
That I never had the heart to erase
See I’ll write a song about you
But I’ll never say it to your face

If I am gonna carve my name into this shame
Like a tall oak tree made of all the pain
It didn’t work, I didn’t care, I just wanted to be there for a while

I’m that ugly stain
You can’t get out
On your father’s name
Your mother’s blouse
If you stick around
Then you’ll see I don’t make mistakes
You’re part of me
And I know it’s not time
For you or I to try

And if I was the man who could count on his hands all the times that I saw but I didn’t understand. I would hope that I’d see that I’d live through the three and any trouble with those who would bargain with me

I’m a fake, I’m a fraud, and when I talk to God—now I hope that he hears cause these days it appears that I can’t do it on my own, when I do it by myself. Some days it gets better but most days I can’t say—

If I am gonna carve my name into this shame
Like a tall oak tree made of all the pain
It didn’t work, I didn’t care, I just wanted to be there for a while
It didn’t work, I didn’t care, I just wanted to be there for a while
It didn’t work, I didn’t care, I just wanted to be there for a while
