Lyrics
I don't ask too much of myself
I give favor lightly
I got this revolving door
For who's standing beside me
My vanity's fickle
Solemnity, sinful
My concentration wanes
For anything so simple
So give me some credit
I'm not drowning in sorrow
I'm not gonna get angry
Like I don't know what I might do
I sell myself short some
But you make up the difference
I can make excuses to be
Useless in an instant
So what the hell matters
You climb down from the rafters
Saying the coffee's cold
My whole world has been shattered
So give me some credit
And don't bank on tomorrow
'Cause by tomorrow
I'll be on to something new
So believe me when I tell you
Everything I say's a lie
Believe me when I tell you
Everything I say's a lie
No one thing is everything
But everything is all you claim to be
