If I keep tripping over the same wire, why don't I move it out of the way?
You'd think I would have learned the first few times I've fallen by the scars left behind…
But still I get up, lick my wound and somehow manage to fall one more time.

Is it that I am stupid or just broken inside, that one would think that I like it when I fall?
But like a broken record I am stuck on replay, doing it again and again, not remembering how it felt the last time I took a fall.

Why don't I move the **** wire?! How do l even move it?
Day after day, night after night I dream of a time when I fall no more
But I can't seem to get that **** wire out the door

Why can't I walk another way? How about going left instead of right today?
I see the wire ahead and I know I will fall,
But I just can't seem to divert from it any at all…

Like a magnet to metal I am being pulled in its path,
And I want to break away from it but I don't know where to start
I tried my best but it just wasn't strong enough,
And so I fell again over the same stupid stuff
