you spend your life begging for pity
then complain when you don’t get love
you stab your friends, you stab yourself
then you cry about the blood
you wear your skin like a chain
you’re always looking for someone to blame

but it’s you
it’s always you
by now you should know that’s true
it’s you and only you

you’re quick to sin
you’re quick to cast stones
you’re the prodigal son
but you never come home
everybody leaves
it’s always the same
you point your finger at them
but they’re not to blame

no, it’s you
it’s always you
by now you should know that’s true
it’s you and only you

we’ve seen you at your worst
we’ve seen you at your best
we know you could be the one that you want
but you won’t because you’ll never accept

that it’s you
it’s always you
by now you should know that’s true
it’s you and only you
