The Fault In Our Stars

You and me and the fault in our stars

In this world we are spinning

Like dogs chasing cars

We pretend it will all stay the same

But what's in an illusion anyway?

I'm taking it back, and I'm running fast

I try to improve, but I can't get past this

Just because the past rears it's ugly head

Doesn't mean we lie in a vengeful bed

Yet I'm not the person you want me to be

Too often you expect too much of me

I know, I should take this all back

Perhaps, I should take this on the road.

So tell me what you think makes sense

'Cause I'm running my mouth

While I'm mending up fences

I'm trying to do the best that I can

But my best is never enough for you, man

I'm all worked up

But I'm out to sea

I dared to think

I deigned to believe

I'm walking up to the abyss again

Staring my fate down to the bitter end

So you'll remind me where you think I'm flawed

And I'll hide behind these same four walls

Tell me should I stay no or tell me should I go?

And now I walk it back from the ledge (stop, 1, and 2)

So All we have to do is pretend

(Just say NO!)

I'm stepping it back

When I look at the stars

I'm trying to leap

But I know I won't go far

Working up the nerve of what to say

But wisdom won't come to me today

I'm seeking the truth

While I'm losing my mind

I try to be nice

And I try to be kind

But the words just come out

with a bitter edge

They're weaponized to inflict damage (armed to singe you my friend)

For that's the nature of our universe

Our orbits were set to collide from birth

Because we've taken it too far (it's the essence of who we are)

It's the fault in our stars
