lyrics

I've wasted all your money and your time
I might just have to face the fact that I'm
Not gonna be what you want me to
I'll never be what you want me to

You said I tried my best and that's enough
Why can't you just accept the fact that
Nothing turns out like you want it to
Nothing turns out like you want it to

And you can tell me your secrets honey
Don't be scared
I'm a real disappointment baby
I don't care
I'm a failure of my time
The house and the garage
It isn't mine

And I make no excuses
I'm a nimrod's son
Won't you please share the wealth with me
Cos I want some
I'm a mess of me and you
Not gonna lie
You may as well get used to it
