[Verse]

No, I’m not scared to live with it

The shelter of my ignorance is all that I need

‘Cause I don’t want to know

When all my friends are tired of me

Or wonder if it’s my fault when they all leave

‘Cause that’s just how it goes

I know I can’t control myself

But some things warrant further explanation

But I don’t need your help

You’ll find the holes I leave around

And point them out in every conversation

Struck down by the revelation


[Chorus]

Oooooo

I’m human after all

So weak and irresponsible

Oooooo

My back’s against the wall

Your needs are so impossible


[Verse]

I’m so fed up with privacy

It’s keeping me alive

And on my last nerve

‘Cause I don’t want to know

What everybody hides from me

But claim that it’s my right

To have the last word

‘Cause that’s just how it goes

I must be meant to live alone

And fall in love with my imagination

But I don’t need your help

I’ll find a job away from home

And sell my soul to some conglomeration

Struck down by the revelation


[Chorus]

Oooooo

I’m human after all

So weak and irresponsible

Oooooo

Which one of us is wrong?

Lost count of who’s accountable


[Bridge]

Nothing’s ever really on purpose

I got distracted and you got disserviced

Who am I kidding?

Who am I kidding?

And it’d be easier to say

I just got lost and you got in my way

But who am I kidding?

Who am I kidding?

It’s all my fault

It’s all my fault

It’s all my fault

Nobody taught me how to say goodbye

But sometimes it’s the only valid answer

But I don’t need your help

I’ll scrape my nails against the sky

A monster looking for a point of entry

And walk home praying God forgives me


[Chorus]

Oooooo

I’m human after all

So weak and irresponsible

Oooooo

These hands can’t break the fall

And these legs can’t carry all

That I am


[Outro]

(Just slide your shoes on and put your coat on, and)

(Don't lock us out, but come on down and eat and then we'll pack your dad up a plate to take home)

(and then I'll- I'll have to wake him up so he can call L**, 'kay?)

(So I'll see you in a few)

(Love you)

(Bye)
