lyrics

Now that you're living so far away
You may think of me and wonder if I've changed
I want you to rest assured
I'm the same as ever, never mind what you've heard

I'm still fucking up
Oh ho, against all odds
I have failed to learn anything
I'm still fucking up
Oh ho, still the asshole you used to know
With the lack of empathy

Some people are so untrustworthy
You can't depend on them cause you never know who they'll be
But I am constant, I am sound
You can count on me to always let you down

I'm still fucking up
Oh ho, don't you worry
I've got a lot more time to do more things wrong
I'm still fucking up
Oh ho, if you're waiting for me to make a mistake
Then it won't be long

And it's just like you always used to say
I'm a glutton for punishment and I like it that way
A junkie for sympathy, how your words made me cry
Cause I knew they were true, it wasn't like you to lie

So there you have it folks, that's my story
It may sound sad to you but imagine how it feels for me
It just goes to show you were on the right track
You dodged a bullet when you left and never looked back

Cause I'm still fucking up
To this very day
You can hear the self-pity and pain in my voice
I'm still fucking up
And every word I say
And every step I take is a terrible choice
I'm still fucking up
Still on my bullshit
A festering cesspool of sorrow and strife
I'm still fucking up
And I'm not gonna quit
I am dedicated to my destructive life
And it's wrong, yes I'm wrong
Still wrong after all of these years
I'm nothing but a hound a dog and a scoundrel
And a clown drowning in my own tears
