| And you respect what I’m doing but you just can’t stand me now
|
| And I’ll stop the screaming if you put something in my mouth
|
| My mouth
|
| My mouth is dry for you
|
| You paint a pretty picture, I put my fist right through
|
| My words are turning circles in the back of you
|
| And I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| And you stay up forever just praying your love won’t last
|
| But you pop up whenever my head’s light enough to laugh
|
| And I push past the others to see who can match my stride
|
| My stride
|
| My stride is wide for you
|
| I push on through, my heels propel me faster still
|
| You say that I’m a nightmare, what does that make you?
|
| And I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could
|
| On my way, I’m on way
|
| All that looking caught me off
|
| My gaze is strong and straight
|
| But my mind’s half glazed
|
| You get all settled
|
| But my trip’s half paid for
|
| My trip’s half paid for
|
| My trip’s half paid for
|
| My trip’s half paid for
|
| And I know it sounds better when the right words are sticking me down
|
| And you respect what I’m doing but you just can’t stand me now
|
| And I’ll stop the screaming if you put something in my mouth
|
| My mouth
|
| My mouth is dry for you
|
| You paint a pretty picture, I put my fist right through
|
| My words are turning circles in the back of you
|
| And I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe
|
| I did the best that I could, babe |
