You don't have to tell me that I'm stubborn 'Cause I'm not And I know â€~cause it runs in my family And skips every other generation
You don't have to save my soul Or make me feel like I'm in control It's not worth the double scotch whiskey That you'd have to buy me
You look like you're surprised Like when will I get wise But I'll just drive the same dead ends I've tried And I think I know why
There's no connection between what I want And what is good for me The truth, I tell myself not to believe
You don't know, I could have been somethin' But I'm not and I know that it's somebody else's fault Just like every other thing That's ever happened to me
Yeah, I could have been like the king Or like someone who could really sing Folks would line up round the corner Just so they could come and hear me
There I go again Them devils love their sin Well, they can't end what I do not begin So I'm safe where I'm in
And there's no connection between what I want And what is good for me The truth, I tell myself not to believe
There's no direction between where I am And where I'm supposed to be The truth, I tell myself not to believe
Don't think that I'm expecting you to stay 'Cause you won't and I know 'Cause I've seen it a million times It's just a charming, self destructive disposition of I
Yeah, all those happy endings are for fools Who feel like they will never lose Folks, who think there's a God out there That's gonna save them
I'll get this 'round my friend And then we can start again Just like we did when we were who we are Have we come that far?
There's no connection between what I want And what is good for me The truth, I tell myself not to believe
There's no direction between where I am And where I'm supposed to be The truth, I tell myself not to believe
