lyrics

i can't say it's something i'm proud of
i'll anxiously round up
eleven good reasons
for you to come home
i'll even throw in baskets of flowers
to help mask the foul smell
of putrid excuses
and the shit that i talk

i didn't wanna make a fool of you (ooo-oo-ooo)
i totally get it if you don't understand
i didn't mean to make a fool of you (ooo-oo-ooo)
i swear i tried but things went south
go ahead and punch me in the mouth

granted i've followed the rules and kept my room clean
i should be able to make the right decisions
if i exclusively follow the better judgment of my
(voice crack) successful ancestors

but i thought i could think it through
when thoughts to me are just out of reach
i just want to be the me thats always talking confidently
the me that's never accidentally impulsively refusing to agree
but there's only so many songs that i can sing
when i'm tied between two brains

you didn't wanna make a fool of me (ooo-oo-ooo)
you totally get it when i don't understand
you didn't mean to make a fool of me (ooo-oo-ooo)
it's the truth
i ain't no sleuth
but i think you broke my tooth

last time you wrote a note to me
it clearly specified
that all our friends and all their dads
will never understand
how bugs with wings metamorphosize inside your stomach while
i tell you nothing matters
and i don't care if you cry
