What are we gonna do when everything all falls through?
F#
I must confess, I've made a mess of what should be a small success

This, that, the other, why even bother?

I decide this internal diatribe

When I try to catch you right, I hate seeing you cry
F#
In the kitchen, I don't know why it affects me like this
F#
When you're not even mine to consider
F#
Erroneous, harmonious, I'm hardly sanctimonious
F#
Dirty clothes, I suppose we all outgrow ourselves
F#
I'm a fake, I'm a phony, I'm awake, I'm alone
F#
I'm homely, I'm a Scorpio
Chorus
