Are you uncomfortable yet
It must **** to look in the mirror
And see who you really are
And I don't do this because I'm a villain
Or because it brings me pleasure
But solely because I've ran out of options
Whenever I've tried to be calm and diplomatic
You make it your intent
To spit in my face
You fuss and cuss
And scream at the top of your lungs
That you want me to stay in my place

But nothing in the world would please me more
Than for us to take the time to fix this
I don't think we have much time left
If you really want this to work
Then I suggest you get on the ball
Because this relationship's about to meet it's death

Are you tired yet
You're all worn out and ready to quit
You claim that I'm blowing things out of proportion
I'm a pessimist
That has too much time on their hands
To be coming up with these accusations
Where the hell do I get off
Talking in such a way
There goes my superfluous ego
And where the hell do you get off
Calling me out my name
There you are, hurt and ashamed

But nothing in the world would please me more
Than for us to take the time to fix this
I don't think we have much time left
If this is really cramping your style
And you want the pain to be over
Than you have to pass this test

I know that I can be a little evil
I know that I can be a little wild
But if I can point out my demons
Then what the hell is taking you so long
I believe that we can make this work
And hopefully you do too
I have all the time in the world
But do you?
