Don't be alarmed
Just pay attention
Cause I can explain
This little point of contention
Ok maybe I can't
But I'm gonna try to
I pay by the word
So here's the check that I write you
You see I never pass go
I don't collect nothing
I can't get ahead
I'm always looking for something more
And I know now that's not your fault

When you say you don't want me
Around here no more
And I know that's the least I can do
While I'm lying awake
I will count my mistakes
Let the sheep take a break
I could do with a little patience

Let me try this again
But less heavy handed
I can tell by your face
That you're getting offended
Could probably stand
To be more careful
When choosing my words
I know that I'm such a hand full
You see I'm scared of myself
And what and I'm becoming
Can't catch a break
Always looking for something more
And I know now it's all my fault

When you say you don't want me
Around here no more
And I know that's the least I can do
While I'm lying awake
I will count my mistakes
Let the sheep take a break
I could do with a little patience

I know I ruined everything
So when you go please leave a light on
I am out of things to say
So when you go please leave a light on

When you say you don't want me
Around here no more
And I know that's the least I can do
While I'm lying awake
I will count my mistakes
Let the sheep take a break
I could do with a little patience
