Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You really think that you're bigger than this?
To the tune of ten thousand lisps
Who'd have thought we'd represent
When I can't take a compliment?
[Verse 2]
Overexposure is the key
And any focus on me
Is appreciated
As it should be
[PreChorus]
No wonder now, I finally found
The right formula for
[Chorus]
You taught me how I play the fool
Every mistake that I make, I couldn't have made without you
What's said is done and plain to see
You take it all too seriously
[Verse 3]
What better way to make an honest mistake
Than a televised hand of fate?
When the world closes in on you
A decision would be overdue
[Verse 4]
Now nothing left is out of hand
A stronger, jaded man stands
And if the world is ending
Then we toast to it
[PreChorus]
I'm stronger now, but not without
The right formula for
[Chorus]
You taught me how I play the fool
Every mistake that I make, I couldn't have made without you
What's said is done and plain to see
Here's all you get from me
Here's all you get from me
[Bridge]
I'm down for whatever
What's there left to wait for?
I'm down for whatever
What's there left to wait for?
[Bridge]
Wait for?
I'll wait
[Chorus]
You taught me how I play the fool
Every mistake that I make, I couldn't have made without you
What's said is done and plain to see
Here's all you get from me
