You set fire to the sofa I was sleeping on
With one simple sentence you stopped my life in its tracks
Became ash, a fraction of myself
Lost at sea for years
And I always forgave you for that
Why I oughta
GIve that kid in the mirror
A swift right hook!
A left right goodnight!
Why I oughta
GIve that kid in the mirror
A swift right hook!
A left right goodnight!
You made a knife out of my kindness
You reflected my compassion
So I wouldn't see the steel in your hand
You cut me and bled out all the love I had
Weak and tired, I always forgave you for that
Why I oughta
Give that kid in the mirror
A swift right hook!
A left right goodnight!
Why I oughta
Give that kid in the mirror
A swift right hook!
A left right goodnight!
I had grey hanging heavy on my eyelids
An eternity
And I always forgave you for that
But now I'm crying at every TV show
Just the mildly sappy stuff
And I won't let the feeling of numb ever come back
And now I see
I'm still making it all about me
And I hope you can forgive me for that
Why I oughta
Give that kid in the mirror
A swift right hook
A left right goodnight
Why I oughta
Give that kid in the mirror
A swift right hook
A left right goodnight
Why I oughta
Give that kid in the mirror
A swift right hook
A left right goodnight
Why I oughta
Give that kid in the mirror
A swift right hook
A left right goodnight
