Yeah we had a fall out
So what's new
And here I am again
Because every time I hear something I don't like
I add to my target ten

Many things and people are affected
So much that I don't see
I'm on a path to don't know where
Or who I'm meant to be

Now I will have talked to many
And many more than talk
But I'm missing that one thing that I can't quite describe
It's the thing that I destroyed

So whatever the number six? seven? eight?
All the same to me
Don't take it all too personal
You're not the target see?

So on I'll crash with my headlines and charm
To add to my magic number
What will happen then I don't know
Even I am beginning to wonder!

I guess I'll sit and I'll look back
At the conclusions I jumped to in haste
And wonder why it didn't work out
Was it worth it? Did I act in haste?

A bit of me thinks I'm always right
I have to be? Don't I?
It's up to everyone else in this world to make the effort
To view with my mind's eye

So I'll jump right in with both feet
And make even more of a mess
And ultimately when all said and done
It's better than loneliness

If I were to face the truth and admit I'm wrong
That I acted out of haste
How would I face each day knowing that I'm at some fault
This is life! I can't cut and paste

So I'll blunder along and wear my mask
Plod and pretend that I am always correct
I'll tell you half a story if you ask
The truth I'll have to reject
