lyrics

If you could see my home's loose screws
If you could see the holes on the soles of my worn boots
If all of my stresses turned to paperwork on your desk
Would it be too much for you to bear

If the paint didn't hide the rust
If you knew that all my life was just one bluff
If you could tread on all the things I throw under my bed
Would it be too much for you to bear

You don't know my past
And I don't know you from a bar of soap
Hell I'm rougher than
The words I choke on
And it's perverse
That the voices in my head they don't
Think that you could be all that
They think there must be quite a catch
To all those feathers in your hat
Will my burden break your back

If you could see the threads are stripped
If you could see that all my walls are just paper thick
If the fault lines tore the boards
And you could see the concrete flaws
Would it be too much for you to bear

You don't know my past
And I don't know you from a bar of soap
Hell I'm rougher than
The words I choke on
And it's perverse
That the voices in my head they don't
Think that you could be all that
They think there must be quite a catch
To all those feathers in your hat
Will my burden break your back
