Don´t be alarmed, just pay attention
´Cause I can explain this little point of contention
Okay, maybe I can´t, but I´m gonna try to

I pay by the word, so here´s the check that I write you
You see, I never pass go, I don´t collect nothing
Can´t get ahead, always looking for something more
And I know now it´s not your fault

When you say you don´t want me around here no more
And I know that´s the least I can do
While I´m lying awake, I will count my mistakes
Let the sheep take a break, I could do
With a little patience

Let me try this again, but less heavy-handed
I can tell by your face that you´re getting offended

Could probably stand to be more careful
When choosing my words, I know that I´m such a handful
You see I´m scared of myself and what I´m becoming
Can´t catch a break, always looking for something more
And I know now it´s all my fault

When you say you don´t want me around here no more
And I know that´s the least I can do
While I´m lying awake, I will count my mistakes
Let the sheep take a break, I could do
With a little patience

I know I ruined everything
So when you go, please leave a light on
I am out of things to say
So when you go, please leave a light on

When you say you don´t want me around here no more
And I know that´s the least I can do
While I´m lying awake, I will count my mistakes
Let the sheep take a break, I could do
With a little patience
