[Verse 1]

Sharpener's calling me again

Trying to turn it into some

Thing I can draw into my skin

Make it a picture that I love

Instead of something that I wish

I could get in the bath and scrub right off

[Chorus]

Why am I ashamed to look the way I do?

All 'cause an escape to me was just a sharpener to you

[Verse 2]

Big old pill to inch around

There's no copping out this time

Try my best to get it down (Get, get, get, get it down)

Sometimes seems like I'm still young

Looking at the boy across the sink

Thinking, "What the hell have you just done?" ("What the hell have you just done?")

[Chorus]

Why am I ashamed to look thе way I do?

All 'cause an escape to mе was just a sharpener to you

Why am I afraid of things I let inside my room?

Just wanted some company, broke the sharpener in two

[Outro]

You say, why am I like this?

You mean, why am I stupid?

'Cause you know you're not trying to fix it

You mean, why am I like this?

You say, why am I selfish?

'Cause you know, honey, you can't help it
