(verse 1)
I hear you on the phone again, you tell me things have changed,
You say you've turned a corner, and nothing seems the same,
But babe, that road is used up, you burned it down on me,
I'm glad you think you're happy, 'cause it damn sure wasn't free.
(chorus)
Don't you get tired of letting everyone down?
One time, I believed you, but now my feet are on the ground,
Failure is your signature; you wear it like a crown.
Don't you get tired of letting everyone down?
(verse 2)
You tell me it's so wonderful, this new life that you've found,
You act as though you've cracked the code and now you're standing proud,
You paint a perfect picture: tranquility compiled,
But behind your played-out mask, you're still just a lost child.
(chorus)
Don't you get tired of letting everyone down?
One time, I believed you, but now my feet are on the ground,
Failure is your signature; you wear it like a crown.
Don't you get tired of letting everyone down?
(bridge)
Every promise, every word... just echoes in the wind,
I've seen your colors change: you're life's chameleon,
Can't you see the shadows that linger in your wake?
When the lights come back up, oh it's clear that you're a fake.
(chorus)
Don't you get tired of letting everyone down?
One time, I believed you, but now my feet are on the ground,
Failure is your signature; you wear it like a crown.
Don't you get tired of letting everyone down?
(outro)
Your words like broken records, they spin but never play,
You weave your tales of grandeur, 'til the truth blows you away,
Yet here you come a-crawling, begging for renown,
Don't you get tired of letting everyone down?
