I am not
a paragon of virtue
I am not
the one you counted on
I am just
the one you found in situ
I am just
the one who let you down
Sometimes I think
I’m the oldest living cliche
Sometimes I think
I’m really just a bore
And now I know
there’s nothing new to say
yeah now I know
it’s all been said before
Sometimes I go
to the record store all alone
I walk the aisles
feeling crushed by all the songs
The same with books
and magazines and cartoons
Too many words
and all of them feel wrong
When I was young
the sky cracked open one day
When I got old
it closed right up again
‘Cause in my mind
my sins are here to stay
And in my heart
is where they’ve always been
Yeah I’m not
a paragon of virtue
maybe I’m just
looking for the why
Maybe I’m just
the one you found in situ
Maybe I’m just
the one who never tried
