Will someone tell me why
I can’t tell my heart and mind
From each other
And I swear I’ve lost myself a thousand times
A thousand times, I swore at my mother for the first time

And I don’t know what to believe in
We say words without no meaning
To each other
And I swear I’ve lost my way a thousand times
A thousand times
I swore at my father

For the first time
For the first time
For the first time
For the first time

Cut it off before it lingers
And rust the veins beneath my fingers
And I always suffer
And I swear I’ve lost my way a thousand times
A thousand times
I swore at my mother

For the first time
For the first time
For the first time
For the first time

I swore at my father
I swore at my father
I swore at my mother
And I’ve been elsewhere for far too

Long, long, long, long
Long, long, long, long
And I’ve been elsewhere for far too long
