Lyrics
Hypocrite
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've gotta put my feet in to see if the water's too cold
I've gotta taste the broth to know if it needs salt
And I check my watch to see if I'm right on time
And I talk to the mirror sometimes, say to myself
'You're gonna be fine'
I am a hypocrite
I sing about love but I can't waltz
And I say that I'm a romantic
Just so it's never my fault
It takes all sorts of energy
Keepin my smile on straight
Makin sure all the bills get paid
Putting my big dreams away
I am a hypocrite
I sing about love but I can't waltz
And I say that I'm a romantic
Just so it's never my fault
I wanna peel off the layers
That my life has caked on
Just by snapping my fingers
Erase everything I've done wrong
Cause I am afraid to leave you
But I know staying here is worse
So on the count of three I'm ripping of this bandaid
I'm breaking the curse
I am a hypocrite
I sing about love but I can't waltz
And I say that I'm a romantic
Just so you don't think it's my fault
I wanna warm myself by a fire
Sittin right next to where I hurt
Where I hurt
