I’ve been such a fool
Shut off, brush-off, handcuffed
Now I’m frozen from keeping it cool
I should have thought twice
There’s always a price
And now that I reflect
I see that I paid with my self-respect
There’s only me to blame
For whatever this messy affair became
I’m asking myself if I’ve been completely insane
What was ever in this for me
Apart from the guilt and the shame
Yeah, I should have thought twice
Shoulda really analyzed
Instead I froze, I got paralyzed
There’s always, always a price
And you can’t fix something this fucked up and defect
And now I’m wondering if I’ll ever fix
My broken self-respect
We fuck up, we’re human
Right?
We fuck up, then we learn
This was a lesson I guess
You are not always what you earn
Yeah, this was a lesson
Standards through the roof
I just gotta keep improving
Until my self-respect, my self-respect
Turns fucking bulletproof
