I don't think that I could ever really know me

I try so hard to do so, but I never show me

I'll start and stop and start and quit

And that still won't be the end of it

'Cause I don't think that I could ever really know me

You shouldn't have to try so hard to understand me

Explanation gets in the way and then it scams me

Scam myself out of making friends

It's a means and I'm an end

You shouldn't have to try so hard to understand me

Sorry, I'm withdrawn and distant

But I would rather be this way

Doubting every word I say

I'm so tired of going the distance

I wouldn't have it other ways

I'd rather blame me than escape

All that I do all that I say adds up to a big lie anyway

All that I think, all that I know

I think that it just goes to show that

I don't think that I could ever really know me (I don't think that I)

I don't think that I could ever really know me (I don't think that I)

Sorry, I'm withdrawn and distant

But I would rather be this way

Doubting every word I say

I'm so tired of going the distance

I wouldn't have it other ways

I'd rather blame me than escape

I'd rather blame me than escape
