Pin The Tail On The Donkey Lyrics
As I kick myself again,
and I try to pick myself back up again,
Don't want to make the same mistakes.
Always the first with an excuse,
but it's when you're cornered by the truth.
Sometimes it's easier that way.
As you turn away
When realization stares you down,
And you swear you've come to terms, I'm wary.
I've seen it all too many times.
It never made much sense,
So I always had to stop and second guess.
Defeat myself before I start.
Comfort seems so far away.
Peace of mind is just a luxury.
Forgetting is the hardest part.
It's not what you say that matters,
because anyone can say those words to me.
You say I lack compassion,
but that's when my first reaction
isn't how you wanted me to be.
As I kick myself again,
and I try to pick myself back up again.
Don't want to make the same mistakes.
and I try to pick myself back up again,
Don't want to make the same mistakes.
Always the first with an excuse,
but it's when you're cornered by the truth.
Sometimes it's easier that way.
When realization stares you down,
And you swear you've come to terms, I'm wary.
I've seen it all too many times.
So I always had to stop and second guess.
Peace of mind is just a luxury.
Forgetting is the hardest part.
because anyone can say those words to me.
You say I lack compassion,
but that's when my first reaction
isn't how you wanted me to be.
and I try to pick myself back up again.
Don't want to make the same mistakes.

i can totally relate to this song. i think its sayin that sumtimes when u try and b urself its not what ppl want so u end up feeling like ur fuckin urself over....well thats what i take it as anyway....but i can relate cuz i try and b myself (which is really cool by the way) and its not what ppl want so i feel like its my fault...the best line is "defeat myself before i start" that sums it alllllll up for me....ok im done rambling sorry man....autopilot rox
I love this song lyrics and also the music. Im not sure what version I like better though. There is the one that is on the spilt and the ohter one on the looking up cd. I love to see this one played live. There is just so much energy... I have seen APO like 9 times...
