the way you operate, is straight to the bone   and everything you say, it leaves me alone   the way you compromise, is like pulling out my eyes   and you say, that everything i do   it bounces off of you, with everything i say   the way you operate, is straight to the bone   and when i find my eyes, ill cut you down to size   until then, ill wander around blind   bumping into signs, and falling on my face   the way i think youll take it, so i guess im breaking it   every time i open my mouth, and i cant live it down   and i think you know it, so i guess im blowing it   every time i open my mouth, no i cant live it down   the stupid things ill say under the knife   sometimes the words i say dont come out right   so all the things i wanted you to hear   went unsaid, unsaid, went unsaid   i know that i cant live it down   i know that i cant live it down
