Agonizing over every word I wanna say

Controlled by fears and consequences, feelings I'll betray

Flinch because I wonder when

Elbowed in the head again

Minding my own business on the couch

And I'm ashamed

That all I ever have to say is, "Ouch"

Forgetful, regretful, I'm filling your head full of doubts

"Why do you like me?"

But I like to complain, my low threshold for pain doesn't help

Darling, get off my knee

Flinch because I wonder when

Poked me in the eye again

Minding my own business on the couch

And I'm ashamed

That all I ever have to say is, "Ouch"

Well, it doesn't bother me quite as much as you think

I'm just extra sensitive after my second drink

And there's nothing I can do, 'cause I'm constantly annoyed

These heavy conversations, abrasions I avoid

Flinch because I wonder when

Kicked me in the shin again

Minding my own business on the couch

And I'm ashamed

That all I ever have to say is, "Ouch"

Agonizing over every word I wanna say

Controlled by fears and consequences, feelings I'll betray

Flinch because I wonder when

Elbowed in the head again

Minding my own business on the couch

And I'm ashamed

That all I ever have to say is...
