What’s that you said?
You need some time to clear your head?
Time off from going through the motions

I’d say that’s fair
But I’d be lying
And I wouldn’t want to build that reputation

We’re so concerned with our perception
It’s all cut and dry
Where’s the honesty to sting us til we get it right?

Spill your guts or hold your tongue
These little games are just no fun
You crave attention like a drug, it’s so damn shameful

It’s not all Black and white
So keep your mouth shut, baby
Til you get it right
Get yourself all figured out
This time you’d better call a spade a spade
And burn your bridges to the ground
You’re so damn shameful

Too much, too fast
Go ahead and fill your glass
Wet your throat with what you know will fix the problem

These thrills are cheap
And when they’re gone what’s left to keep
Other than the knowledge that you’re fucking lonely?

So hide behind those pretty eyes
Convince yourself it’s not a lie
Go on pretending ‘til the sight of me reminds you

Hypocrisy’s a way of life
I know, believe me, cause I’ve tried it
And it left me swimming at the bottom of the bottle

It’s not all Black and white
So keep your mouth shut, baby
Til you get it right
Get yourself all figured out
This time you’d better call a spade a spade
And burn your bridges to the ground
You’re so damn shameful

These thrills are cheap
But what we crave is what we need
To keep from going stale
So let’s drink up our ambitions

These little lies we feed ourselves most every night
Have got me clawing at the kitchen floor
Digging for something more

Pass the pills that they said would make me smile
Cause they fix me where it counts right now
Piece me back together

I’m not awake but I can’t sleep
My mind is not my own to keep
All of these notions preconceived
Tell me that I’m shameful

Tell me that I’m shameful

I just wanted to love you
But you’re just like everybody else
