about
I hate the world today, you're so good to me
I know but I can't change tried to tell you but you look at me
Like maybe I'm an angel underneath, innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried, you must have been relieved to see the softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
All rolled into one
I'm an asshole, I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a father
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint, I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream, I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
So take me as I am
This may mean you'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that when I start to make you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change and today won't mean a thing
I'm an asshole, I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a father
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint, I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream, I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
Just when you think you've got me figured out
The season's already changing
I think it's cool you do what you do
And don't try to save me
I'm an asshole, I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a father
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint, I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream, I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
I'm an asshole, I'm a tease, I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you suffer, I'm an angel undercover
I've been numbed, I'm revived, can't say I'm not alive
You know, I wouldn't want it any other way
