Pin The Tail On The Donkey

Pin The Tail On The Donkey

Autopilot Off
(album: Looking Up)

As I kick myself again,
and I try to pick myself back up again,
Don´t want to make the same mistakes.
Always the first with an excuse,
but it´s when you´re cornered by the truth.
Sometimes it´s easier that way.

As you turn away
When realization stares you down,
And you swear you´ve come to terms, I´m wary.
I´ve seen it all too many times.

It never made much sense,
So I always had to stop and second guess.

Defeat myself before I start.

Comfort seems so far away.
Peace of mind is just a luxury.
Forgetting is the hardest part.

It´s not what you say that matters,
because anyone can say those words to me.
You say I lack compassion,
but that´s when my first reaction
isn´t how you wanted me to be.

As I kick myself again,
and I try to pick myself back up again.
Don´t want to make the same mistakes.
