So let me tell you this one
Try to keep up with me
It's a tale that I have told a thousand times before

This is the story of my life
And how I hate it
And all the mistakes I mull over are the reason why I'm here

I went to a shrink
He asked me to open up
So I told him I'm lazy and how I just can't get things done

He said " you need to push forward
And none of this is your fault
But maybe you cling to the past 'cause the future freaks you out"

Yeah, the future freaks me out

On and off I feel shitty
I cannot stand the heat
I want a scape from reality or at least something to dream

I told my shrink 'bout my mom
And how she's overprotective
Sometimes I feel like a child even though I'm twenty-five years old

I told him about my dad
And how I can't recall
The last time that we hugged we are completely out of touch

I told him 'bout my girlfriend
And how she is so sad
I wonder if she'd be better without me, I wish I could help her
(But I can't even help myself)

So let me tell you this one
Try to keep up with me
It's a tale that I have told a thousand times before
