You're sitting at home with the TV on
For some company
Then you think of her and you wonder
What's going on? Does she wanna
Meet up in the city
So you ring on the phone, but no-one's home
But last week
When you needed sleep
You were chatting to her and she seemed keen
But now you get
Mixed messages
So you decide to go out and clear your head
You see her out, but she's not with you
And she's looking her best
And it's clear she has somewhere better to be
She doesn't see you, but you still take the blow
Like a knife to the chest
Feel like you're bleeding out, so you turn around
You're walking home
All alone
All the thoughts going 'round won't leave your dome
But finally
Your mind is free
All the words burst out and you're screaming
What does it take for me to just once
Be in the right?
I'm sick of f*cking it up
Every time
I wanna reap the rewards, not fall
When I try
But I still f*ck it up
Every time
Was I too keen?
Was I trying too hard?
Didn't wanna lose this
But I was doomed right from the start
Can I still fix it
Or has it all gone too far?
When will I learn
To use my head, not my heart?
What does it take for me to just once
Be in the right?
I'm sick of f*cking it up
Every time
I wanna reap the rewards, not fall
When I try
But I still f*ck it up
Every time
One day I might just once
Be in the right
For now I'm f*cking it up
Every time
I learn a lesson from the fall
When I try
'Cause it's important to f*ck it up
Sometimes
