Don't say! Don't say another one.
I've heard all your complaints—your insecurities.
Maintain! Maintain! You can bottle up,
but you can't stop this train for an eternity.
Now that it’s in your head
you shelter yourself—afraid of what they said.
Focused on their missteps.
You have only seen what you have wanted.
Who you say you are is so far off from what you show.
You can say I'm wrong. Yeah, I'm selfish—I'm not afraid to be flawed.
Who you say you are is so far off from what you show.
You got a lot of blame, got a lot of blame, the kind you love to lay on.
No pain! No pain! We can stand to jump.
We let the love decay—there's not a lot to leave.
No shame! No shame in giving up.
There's nothing left to say 'cause I'm surrendering.
Now that it’s in your head
you shelter yourself—afraid of what they said.
Focused on their missteps.
You have only seen what you have wanted.
Who you say you are is so far off from what you show.
You can say I'm wrong. Yeah, I'm selfish—I'm not afraid to be flawed.
Who you say you are is so far off from what you show.
You got a lot of blame, got a lot of blame, the kind you love to lay on.
On and on until we're right back in your house.
It won't be long until I find the end.
On and on until we're right back in your house.
On and on. On and on it goes.
Who you say you are is so far off from what you show.
You can say I'm wrong. Yeah, I'm selfish—I'm not afraid to be flawed.
Who you say you are is so far off from what you show.
You got a lot of blame, got a lot of blame, the kind you love to lay on.
