I keep pretending like I'm educated
But really I just like to look stupid
And inevitably humiliated

But why does it matter?
I want to know why it matters
"Let me see this thing through" I say in vain

You put yourself on a pedestal every single time!
But you're imperfect too, so get used to the idea
If only I could argue better, I've never been good with words...

Opinions are only temporary
Because people have to die sometime
And God willing, there thoughts will go with them

I've become the kind of person that I detest,
I always take the easy way out now
Because it's what's familiar to me these days

I'm more complicated, than I've ever let on...
I'm more complicated than you give me credit
But then again I don't deserve the recognition

I think thats why things play out the way they do
So fucking put me in my place, and don't see
Our blatantly obvious similarities

I may not be too articulate
But I know damn sure what I mean,
And that's more than I can say for you...

So why don't you go back up north,
To D.C., where you've got friends?
You know I'm not sure why what you said got to me...

Maybe because I know every bit of it was true
But you don't know my life story
So don't you fucking rub this in

You act like I went out of my way
To be a fucking dick tonight
Well, you're not alone, I hate myself as well

But don't stand there like you're something so much more...
Don't dare stand there like you're something more than me
Because I know that you've got your secrets too...

And if this many people have said something to my face
All I can think about is all the other people in my life
Who thought it best to hold their tongue...
