Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What is this?
It doesn't make much sense
They sing it like a pop song
You're capable of anything
And I'm sure they meant
You could be president
Or you could just forgive me
[Verse 2]
But I, Stopped
Caring what you think about me, I
Gave up
We're told
We are capable of anything
You don't seem to think
That you are
Capable of anything
[Verse 3]
Swung and missed
I poured my heart in this
Mythical, holy good guy
I want so bad to be
But I was weak and wrong
And when I owned it all
It only made you righteous now
You get to blame your life on me
[Verse 4]
But I, Stopped
Caring what you think about me, I
Gave up
We're told
We are capable of anything
You don't seem to think
That you are, are
Capable of anything
[Verse 5]
You are
Capable of anything
You don't seem to think
That you could fly so low
Or sink so high
That you could ever love
Again, or even try
That you could steal
Or cheat, or kill, or lie
But you might
