Will someone tell me why
I can't tell my heart and mind
From each other
And I swear I've lost myself a thousand times
A thousand times, I swore at my mother for the first time

And I don't know what to believe in
We say words without no meaning
To each other
And I swear I've lost my way a thousand times
A thousand times
I swore at my father

For the first time

Cut it off before it lingers
And rust the veins beneath my fingers
And I always suffer
And I swear I've lost my way a thousand times
A thousand times
I swore at my mother

For the first time

I swore at my father
I swore at my father
I swore at my mother
And I've been elsewhere for far too

Long, long, long, long
Long, long, long, long
And I've been elsewhere for far too long
