[Verse 1] I told you straight from the heart
"You can't rely on my past"
I saw your sister last weekend and I
Thought about it but I sounded too shy
Through provocation I fell hard on your floor then we
Spent the night while your parents were gone
God I hope I'm right, but I can't tonight

[Chorus 1] Whatever makes you feel good
(Take it all the same)
Think you should stand where I stood
(You're hard to blame)
I traced the fall underfoot
(Confused while I'm away from home)

[Verse 2] Troublemaker at best
I asked if I could be next
When we meet in December, tell me
Where the flowers are on my body
I've got a history of dragging along and
I think you might be a little too strong
But I hope I'm old, when I've lost my soul

[Chorus 1] Whatever makes you feel good
(Take it all the same)
Think you should stand where I stood
(You're hard to blame)
I traced the fall underfoot
(Confused while I'm away from home)

[Chorus 2] You know this tore me in half
(I wrote you on my sleeve)
I stole a glass from the bar
(Give me time to breathe)
You think I'm bitter and tough
(Spinning out of sleep, from home)

[Bridge] I swear you lied a thousand times
You swim away, I touch your side
A little curt could be no worse
Than being known as someone first
I never liked to make the choice
You get upset, I get annoyed
But I could swallow up the view
I like to feel I'm of some use

[Chorus 1] Whatever makes you feel good
(Take it all the same)
Think you should stand where I stood
(You're hard to blame)
I traced the fall underfoot
(Confused while I'm away from home)

[Chorus 2] You know this tore me in half
(I wrote you on my sleeve)
I stole a glass from the bar
(Give me time to breathe)
You think I'm bitter and tough
(Spinning out of sleep, from home)
