Now there's nothing I can say that you want to hear
Since I've shown so little reverence for all that I held dear
And I could write at length of all the things that I've done wrong
But even the first chapter wouldn't fit into this song
And the simple truth is I'm a piece of shit
I'm emotionally stunted and there's no fixing it
So you were right for wasting no more time
On this unfaithful, one-sided love of mine
Oh, you said I must hate the fairer sex
And I have never felt more fragile, more unable to object
It's moot to point out my best friends were born a certain kind
When I've never had a lover I have not objectified
And the simple truth is I'm a piece of shit
I'm emotionally stunted and there's no fixing it
So you were right for wasting no more time
On this unbalanced, one-sided love of mine
My prevailing primal impulse is to crucify myself
Face the spotlight come what may rather than rot up on a shelf
With other fallen examples of respectable men
But to swear for all to hear that I will not be like them
And the simple truth is I don't know what's wrong
I've examined my true nature but I've been this way for far too long
So I swear, I'm investing no more time
In this fabricated, narcissistic love of mine
