[Verse 1]

Sorry I haven't written

I've been in quite the mood

I've been upside down for years now

But the pay's been pretty good

But I have to write a love song

Cause my momma said I should

But I'd have to lose the minor chords

And I'm not so sure I could

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I'm the voice of the depressed

And that's what everyone expects

Give the people what they want

Then it hangs over your head

[Chorus]

I'm stuttering (oh whoa)

'Cause I never know what to say

I'm stuttering (oh whoa)

Can't listen to a word I say

And there's a lot of work to do

Can't carry the weight like I used to

But I'll figure it out like I always do

Sacrifice myself for you

[Verse 2]

I can't believe my mouth sometimes

I've got it pretty good

But if I ever learn to like myself

Then I'd soon be out of work

Who do I think I'm kidding

Like I'm Robert fucking Smith?

Maybe I'm trying to convince myself

That I'm someone who'd be missed

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I'm the voice of the depressed

And that's what everyone expects

Give the people what they want

Then it hangs over your head

[Chorus]

I'm stuttering (oh whoa)

'Cause I never know what to say

I'm stuttering (oh whoa)

Can't listen to a word I say

And there's a lot of work to do

Can't carry the weight like I used to

But I'll figure it out like I always do

Sacrifice myself for you

[Bridge]

And blessed are the heart attacks

And every sudden shortness of breath

I owe every single one of them for all of you

Patience don't pay, get my nose back in the books

So I can keep on making cash for heartless fucking crooks

And they prey on all my passions

'Cause they know as well as me

That this is the only way that I know how to be

[Chorus]

And I'm stuttering (oh whoa)

'Cause I never know what to say

Stuttering (oh whoa)

Can't listen to a word I say

And there's a lot of work to do

Can't carry the weight like I used to

But I'll figure it out like I always do

Sacrifice myself for you

'Cause I never know what to say

I'm stuttering

Can't listen to a word I say

Stuttering

Stuttering

And I sacrifice myself
