Verse 1
I Got DOne Shoe On My Feet
I Told My GFriends I'd Go To The Parade But Waited Far Too Long To Leave
DI Met A Boy Last Week
And Then I GTold Him That I Liked Him, He Said That Was Pretty Bold Of Me, Now

Pre-Chorus 1
D Isn't It, Isn't It The GWay Things Always Go For Me?
D Honesty, Gets Misconstrued And GMet With Some Weird Apathy

Chorus
And Now I'm EmSitting On The Couch With One AFoot Stuck In My Mouth
And The DRest Of Me Is Stuck InCside My BHead
And I'm Just EmTrying To Figure Out The Real AWay Things All Went Down
And Not The DWay I CWanted It InsBtead

Verse 2
And DI Can't Comprehend
That When It GHappens In The Movies All Thе Actors Get A Second Chance
AndD Thе Audience All Cheers
But In GReal Life When You Show Your Cards, What You Thought Was Magic Disappears, Now

Pre-Chorus 2
D Isn't It, Isn't It EGxactly What Has Happened Here?
D Transparency Got Confused
Viewed Like Some GNarcissistic Party Trick But No One's Even Watching It

Chorus
And Now I'm EmSitting On The Couch With One AFoot Stuck In My Mouth
And The DRest Of Me Is Stuck InCside My BHead
And I'm Just EmTrying To Figure Out The Real AWay Things All Went Down
And Not The DWay I CWanted It InsBtead
