Without a doubt I've taken all you can give
And now I suffer through this song
Feel free to hum along
Going back a few short years I can see
That I was never really here
As I collect the facts and sort them in rows
It seems the question's always been
How long can I keep this going?
You can use it against me
In your saddest state of mind
Use it against me
With my ego on the line
Use it against me anytime
I try to simplify the plot to an outline
But I can never make the end
I want to read some lines that stray from the screenplay
Improvisation's never been
Something I can keep going
I've never preached a single word
That doesn't sound a bit absurd
I don't know how to pound it in
To make it stick under my skin
