[Verse 1]

Oh, I'm still sulking

Born in the rough again

But if it's true, I'll be excused from my time again

Release your mind

Time after guilt

I close my mouth before the words come out

Against everything I've built

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, I'm wistfully waiting

I'll peddle for validation

I can see through it all, you're such a buffoon

Oh, I'm still kissing pavement

I'll wake up when I can take it

I'm stranded by your shoestring, we are marooned

Oh how

[Chorus]

I just can't stand it

When you get so close to my face

(So throw me a bone)

I'll understand you

When you put yourself in my place

(Stеp off of your throne)

[Verse 2]

Oh, I'm still lurking

Awarded for the lеsser hand

And if it weren't for you, I'd be ensued to my decisiveness

Mean what you say

Or leave it at the door

If you're gonna gloat, your appearance shows

You better promise less or do more

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, I'm wistfully waiting

I'll peddle for validation

I can see through it all, you're such a buffoon

Oh, I'm still losing patience

It's trouble to always fake it

'Cause if you wanted to, you could be up by noon

Oh how

[Chorus]

I just can't stand it

When you get so close to my face

(So throw me a bone)

Oh, I'll understand you

When you put yourself in my place

(Step off of your throne)

[Bridge]

Open your eyes

Maybe it's not as it seems

Unsatisfied

Writing songs for someone else to sing

I meant every remark

Aimed straight unforgivingly at your heart

So take the wheel and man your own damn car

[Refrain]

I just can't stand it

When you get so close to my face

So throw me a bone

Oh, I'll understand you

When you put yourself in my place

So throw me a bone

[Chorus]

If I could command you, I'd tell you to jump off that plane

(You drive me insane)

When I reprimand you, I'd tell you to don a new face

(So get out this place)

Oh, I just can't stand you when you get all up in my face

(Throw me a bone)

If I'd hand it to you, you never would a make a mistake

(Throw me a bone)
