Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Maybe I should've been a painter
But I can't stick between the lines
Maybe I should've been a builder like the old man
Get home to you just after five
I'm not smart enough to be a doctor
I can't even take care of myself
I wish there was more money in horses
But I'd probably lose that bet as well
[PreChorus]
I know I should be grateful
For all the things that I've got
There's a million and one reasons I should be happy
But I'm fucking not
[Chorus]
I got so much more than I bargained for
Now I'm beating myself up, I'm dying on the floor
I thought it'd bring me some peace, but it started a war
Now it's ripping us apart, I don't know anymore
It's a double-edged sword
[Verse 2]
It used to be so much easier
When I was doing the rounds
And even though I'd get home late
At least my feet were on the ground
[PreChorus]
I know I should be grateful
For the things that I've got
And I know I should be happy
But I'm fucking not
[Chorus]
I got so much more than I bargained for
Now I'm beating myself up, and I'm dying on the floor
I thought it'd bring me some peace, but it started a war
Now it's ripping us apart, and I don't know anymore
It's a double-edged sword
It's a double-edged sword
[Bridge]
And I've only got myself to blame
And I'm not proud
Maybe if I bang my head off the wall again
I'll figure it out
[Chorus]
I got so much more than I bargained for
Now I'm beating myself up, and I'm dying on the floor
I thought it'd bring me some peace, but it started a war
Now it's ripping us apart, and I don't know anymore
It's a double-edged sword
It's a double-edged sword
