So tell me the mistakes you've been making
And how you never really got that far
Tell me all the reasons you hate me
(cause you're allowed to have your
doubts if I'm allowed to leave without)
But how I taught you where your conscience starts
(apologizing, leave without)
Your patronizing sense of self
Go home, there's no hope for you
You make decisions like you're reckless
and you're dressing like it too
And I've found faith in myself
at the bottom of my heart
A shot of sense to keep me clear
one more to get me going
So tell me the mistakes you've been making
And how you never really got that far
tell me all the reasons you hate me
(cause you're allowed to have your
doubts if I'm allowed to leave without)
But how I taught you where your conscience starts
(apologizing, leave without)
Your patronizing sense of wonder--
-- when I take the blame
Your condescending point of view
can't reignite my sense of shame
And I've got burdens on my back
that make me feel older than I am
My empty heart tears me apart
but gives me strength in where I stand
So tell me the mistakes you've been making
And how you never really got that far
tell me all the reasons you hate me
But how I taught you where your conscience starts
Cause you're allowed to have your doubts
if I'm allowed to leave without apologizing
You're allowed to have your doubts if I'm allowed to leave without you
And your patronizing sense of self
