Tell me that I'm wrong
And knock me off my pedistal
Of foolish pride
I may pout for awhile
But I take great comfort in knowing
That I'll just crawl
Right back up on it
And once I'm sitting back up
On my so-called cloud of wisdom
Don't ask me how I got there
I kind of just claimed myself as the leader
I didn't mean to but I elected myself
Queen of the Know-It-Alls
I don't know why it's so damn hard
For me to keep my mouth shut
I guess I just don't have enough self-control
And even after I push you off the deep end
Once or twice, by mistake
I don't understand why you come back for more
It's absolutely ironic
That I always open my mouth when I shouldn't
And when I need to speak up
I never do
It's surprising how angry I can get
At the simplest things
But when I'm being cheated on
I'm totally apathetical
I don't know why I can never change
My obvious hypocriticism
I guess I can't help it
Or maybe I just don't want to
I always ask illogical questions
At an inappropriate time
I could stop myself
But I don't
Watch me
I'm so out of touch
And so out of sync
That every single thing I do
Is off beat
Don't touch me
I may look all warm and fuzzy
But inside there's a cold monster
Who is sick and tired
Of being denied and oppressed
Boredom is waking him up
I'm not a dead frog
And you're not a biologist
So stop trying to cut me open
With your ice cold scalpel
Don't try to dissect me
There's a million drawers
That you could never get into
Even if you had a key
I'm like a puzzle
I have a million different pieces
And you'll never be able to put me together
Even if you tried every hour
Every day
For the rest of your life
Even I don't understand why
I'm so damn complicated
