Well, I guess I stand corrected on the topic of despair Well, I must've been mistaking it for the smell of your fresh air I must've thought wrong when I said that you're holier Than thou attitude was just quite rude And you should come down off of your cloud But you're too goddamn self-righteous for the righteous hand of God You're the ultimate example of why not to spare the rod It ain't your fault that you're like this, that's the thing that I've told myself A million times with words that rhymed in songs of you and songs of hell And it ain't no wonder this bridge was bound to burn and baby I don't understand Quite what I did to earn such a cruel, cruel lovеr, oh, and I'm an honest man Just playin' the hand I'm dealt 'cause the way that I felt Baby it ain't no wonder When you look into the mirror what is it that you see Your forked tongue hides in your mouth, but you still look a lot like me But there is one big distinct difference and that's another thing inside That's a stone inside, inside your body baby for every time that you lied And you were probably never faithful you were probably never true I regret a lot of the things that I said, but I could see right through you You are just so damn transparent, oh, and you are so damn vein And it drives me up a great big wall that I can't say your name And it ain't no wonder this bridge was bound to burn and baby I don't understand Quite what I did to earn such a cruel, cruel lover, oh, and I'm an honest man Just playin' the hand I'm dealt 'cause the way that I felt Oh, baby, but it ain't no wonder Well, I am no great example, oh I'm perfect by no means I drink too much, and I laugh too loud till I'm burstin' at the seems But I'm in no way on my high horse, oh now I'm kinda strapped for cash But I make ends meet when I have to baby and I spend the rest on hash But at least I am not tainted oh and rotten to the core At least I did not stab your back at least I'm not a whole Lotta trouble soaked in beauty, oh and cigarettes and smiles Oh, at least I was the one that was willing to walk the extra mile And it ain't no wonder this bridge was bound to burn and baby I don't understand Quite what I did to earn such a cruel, cruel lover, oh, and I'm an honest man Just playin' the hand I'm dealt 'cause the way that I felt Oh baby, but it ain't no wonder
