You've always blamed your past mistakes, well so could I But I don't say I'm staying straight with bloodshot eyes And honesty is overblown, why can't we just get by On saying what we want to hear, we're crashing cars that just won't drive I always figured I'd work this out Now it's the thorn in my side I never liked looking at myself Just found it easy to hide She lived her life with no regrets, at least she tried Keep taking chances, turning heads and piercing eyes But I still remember that first night when she took the dance floor And she looked like she didn't notice all those eyes and careful whispers It's an act, it's her appeal, now she finally wants to feel Finally saying I don't know, how much longer I can go I always figured I'd work this out Now it's the thorn in my side I never liked looking at myself Just found it easy to hide I always figured I'd work this out Now it's the thorn in my side I never liked looking at myself Just found it easy to hide I always figured I'd work this out Now it's the thorn in my side I never liked looking at myself Just found it easy to hide
