lyrics

Do you really think I'm faking?
Would I be here? Look, I'm begging.
Is that really what you think of me?
Am I selfish? Am I needy?
Maybe you're right. My condition
has me begging for attention.
Now I have it and I hate it.
I'll be the first to admit I deserve it.

I'm aware I'm broken but don't be fooled; it's your fault.
For reasons I'm still unsure, I'm either sane or not at all.
If you're expecting nothing of me I'll disappoint and apologize.
Just when it had mattered most, I learned to cope.
I learned to fix my own life.

I am clearly asking too much
conversation built around love.
I don't know what I expected.
Something different. Not rejected.
Do not problems beg solution?
Paradoxical resolution.
Explanations have escaped me.
I know you'll need them to truly believe me.

I'm aware I'm broken but don't be fooled; it's your fault.
For reasons I'm still unsure, I'm either sane or not at all.
If you're expecting nothing of me I'll disappoint and apologize.
Just when it had mattered most, I learned the flaw in my disguise.

I felt so unprepared to make amends when you returned.
You should know better.
You made a fool of me to speak so quick with humbling words.
My words like thunder.
You'll have to pardon me it's just not quite what I'd expect.
So now we know.
It goes to show we're on the mend.
At least I know there's something left. Yeah.

I'm well aware this might be too much for you.
But you're getting good at this and that much is true.
I'm well aware this might be too much for you.
But you're getting good at this and that much is true.

I'm aware we're broken but don't be fooled we're on the mend.
We're weak. We're young. We're so naive
I'll still be here. You're still my friend.

I'm aware I'm broken but don't be fooled; it's your fault.
For reasons I'm still unsure, I'm either sane or not at all.
If you're expecting nothing of me I'll disappoint and apologize.
Just when it had mattered most, I learned to cope.
I learned to fix my own life.
