      You are floating awash in your sea. Where does that leave me? 
 You slashed me and when you slashed it altered the past.
 I'm post trauma sorting the shards of my scattered cards
 You left me one more judgment day for my resume.
 [chorus]
 We're never the same
 We both share the blame
 So why did I ask you?
 'cause now that I've asked you I'd have to say
 that love won't find a way
 You were thinking of running away from the first day
 You were hinting but I couldn't see meant too much to me
 I'm obsessing Turn off the brain and lock out the pain
 I'm struggling trying to get back what my ego lacks
 [chorus]
 So why did I ask you what I didn't want to know
 Thrashing and sinking in your ego's undertow
 You are floating awash in your sea where does that leave me
 Bruised and battered alone and afraid mistakes have been made
 What an honor when you ran to him he took off again
 In the long run so I was betrayed but all wounds will fade

      Try to do a favor it catches up later when I don't give a mile 
 Write a little note murder's all you wrote why don't you put me on trial
 OK I know that I am wrong
 Really like to walk the talk that I talk but you make it so hard
 Didn't want to hurt you selfish not a virtue I played the wrong card
 OK I know that I am wrong
 [chorus]
 But it's not my fault
 if your treasured island
 won't open up
 to be filled with your love
 Guess that I will punt after your little stunt drove me away
 Odds are getting thin I lose and you win that's what you want me to say
 OK I know that I am wrong
 Rather be a help not your little whelp not a curse but a friend
 End of my rope I can only hope things work out in the end
 OK I know that I am wrong

      He who hesitates is me 
 My indecision's yours to see
 I have these words to say
 But they don't come til you're away
 All I want to do is define
 The grey areas yours and mine
 Mind races excuse excuse
 I can't pry my tongue loose
 [chorus]
 I am a Chickenshit
 Libido's low my heart's with it
 So I write this dubious hit
 I am a Chickenshit
 The subject's getting old
 I strike while the iron's cold
 I could tell you anything
 Except what my tongue won't bring
 I've had enough of this
 Wounds with a lemon twist
 What's that on your left hand shadows of a wedding band
 [chorus]
 Why repeat the past
 Memories will last
 Not a lot to say
 Say it anyway
 What is past you now
 Seems a sacred cow
 All I wanted was to give us both some hope
 I'm not good enough
 I'm not strong enough
 To be creator and destroyer of the rope
 Are you sitting down
 Yes you're sitting down
 You should be running but your past's a ball and chain
 You know all about the first step
 But can you take what comes next
 The wind's direction doesn't need a weather vane
 Are you happy now?
 Are you happy now
 I was open but your walls were in the way
 Just a little faith in me
 Just a little empathy
 You could be dealing with a different man today

      Wish I weren't so sensitive - that I could blow it off 
 and wish you the best but that's just me and I just can't
 Didn't even care at first but you reeled me in
 and now I'm hanging here deboned and gutted
 [chorus]
 What was I doing? What was I thinking?
 Where was I going? Why did I care?
 What was I doing ? What was I thinking?
 What was I asking? Why did I care?
 Keep your distance so I can heal - don't you pick at my scabs
 I can't allow myself to feel but I'm weak and I want you
 It's not my fault that you don't know what you want
 I will laugh at this tomorrow if I can ever fall asleep
 [chorus]
 Some days are better than others - this must be one of those others
 So I hide behind the fans - they make me feel OK
 I will pull myself out of this - there is light at the end of the tunnel
 As long as you don't blow it out with your sweet and sour breath
 [chorus]

      Can I get a witness 
 To your constant pain
 Hear you're spinning downwards
 Thought you were the same
 Take some pride in who you are
 Stop the tide of self defeat
 Can I get a witness
 Not someone to blame
 Throwing rocks at glass houses shatters everything
 Is there anyone I know who hasn't done the same?
 But it's all their fault and you didn't do nothin' did you now?
 And it's all their fault and you didn't do nothin' did you now?
 Can I get a witness
 Where's your sense of pride
 I know you used to have one
 It's been pushed aside
 Think about responsibility
 You don't have to be the victim
 Can I get a witness
 Not just one more ride
 And you want to play all aces, all you have's a duce
 You're the last one at the table anyway
 And we all make mistakes but we all learn from them and move on
 And we all make mistakes but we all learn from them and move on
 Can I get a witness
 Is there one at all
 What's the best for yourselves
 Is what you both recall
 Drop it now and move along
 Everyone has forgotten it
 Can I get a witness
 To your free fall
 Cause I worry that this story's just the iceberg's tip
 It gets so hard to know just what I believe
 But it's all about trust and you know I trust you I do now
 And it's all about trust and you know I trust you I do now
 Can I get a witness?
 Can I get a witness?

      The thing that gets me down 
 On the second time around
 Is I left but now
 I'm back in the same place
 Shoot an arrow through my heart
 Tie an anchor to my cart 'til
 I've lost my sense of self to self-efface
 The business end's grown cold
 Cause you're not allowed to be old
 And I'm rooting for a horse that never pays
 And I take it out on me
 Repeat my history
 And waste the time that no one can replace
 My subjects stay the same Love and work and fame
 You could set your clock to follow my retrace
 So here I am again
 Unhappy where I am
 But too afraid to stare me in the face
