Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You gotta lotta nerve

Blamin' someone else

For your mistakes

You gotta lotta nerve

Bottlin' up your help

When you can't carry your weight

[Verse 2]

Yeah, it's a put on

Another late night show

Yeah, it's a put on

Pretendin' you don't know

[Verse 3]

The self-inflicted wounds

You did 'em on your own

Yeah, you were first to draw the knife

And last to throw the stone

Oh, the trust in me

I have abused

Oh, take mercy on my

Self-inflicted wounds

[Verse 4]

You'd never get away with tryna tell yourself

One of your own lines

You never get away

Holdin' back those tears

Try not to cry

[Verse 5]

Darlin' hold on

Let me try to explain

Darlin' hold on

Tryin' to own all this pain

[Verse 6]

These self-inflicted wounds

I did 'em on my own

I was first to draw the knife

And last to throw the stone

Oh, your trust in me

I have abused

Oh, take mercy on my

Self-inflicted wounds

[Verse 7]

Yeah, I'm lookin' for redemption

Love's hallowed ground

Yeah, I'm prayin' for forgiveness

That I've searched around

There's none to be found

[Verse 8]

Self-inflicted wounds

I did 'em on my own

You were first to draw the knife

Last to throw the stone

Oh, the trust in me

I have abused

Oh, take mercy on my

Self-inflicted wounds

Oh, have mercy on my

Self-inflicted wounds
