I'm an asshole, I know – I fight it everywhere I go
You've seen it for yourself
I'm a sinister soul, devouring feelings 'til I'm gone
You've seen it for yourself

I don't make fun of foolish things, I smile with wrath and irony
I give more than I've got
But look inside, I have some nice and pretty sorrows hidden down
In my neurotic heart
Torn, ripped apart like a rose in the middle of a
Hailstorm and gale
All in all, I'm like that ragged rose, I make it like I am the
Only one to blame

I'm an asshole, I know – I fight it everywhere I go
You've seen it for yourself
I'm a sinister soul, devouring feelings 'til I'm gone
You've seen it for yourself
I'm haywire, I fall – I've fallen down into black hole
You've seen it for yourself; oh you don't see
I've made it up, I've screwed it up, I've let you down again
Once again

Oh, do I make you fear 'bout me or maybe make you fear of me?
Now tell me what you choose
I needed badly to get close to you 'cause man, I would have won
It seems that now I lose
I've never meant to insult you, do you believe
Or maybe you feel lost? – 'Cause you know
If so, it means we're both confused – if not, I'll leave you all alone
And turn into a ghost

I'm an asshole, I know – I fight it everywhere I go
You've seen it for yourself
I'm a sinister soul, devouring feelings 'til I'm gone
You've seen it for yourself
I'm haywire, I fall – I've fallen down into black hole
You've seen it for yourself; oh you don't see
I've made it up, I've screwed it up, I've let you down again
Once again

I wish I had more strength to fight, I've made it up again
But I've got acid in my heart, just every now and then

I'm an asshole, I know – I fight it everywhere I go
You've seen it for yourself
I'm a sinister soul, devouring feelings 'til I'm gone
You've seen it for yourself
I'm haywire, I fall – I've fallen down into black hole
You've seen it for yourself; oh you don't see
I've made it up, I've screwed it up, I've let you down again
Once again
