lyrics

Did you make your name, or was it the other way round?
Did they lay the blame, or did you just pull yourself down?
In all that I’ve found it seems like you’ve been hard-done by
Throwing you around and you don’t even know why

I know you got problems chasing your tail
Teach yourself come-backs and learn how to fail
Out with the boys now they’ll do you no good
Fix all your problems, I wish that I could

One moment you adore – a flash and you’re throwing harsh words
You’re building up walls and crying when your hands get burned
It seems we got a live one, sleeping with the lights on
Choking on your words ‘cos you never know the right ones
Stealing what you don’t need, hunger like a child’s greed
Making all our hearts bleed

I know you got problems chasing your tail
Teach yourself come-backs and learn how to fail
Out with the girls now and they think they’re so ‘hood
Fix all your problems, I wish that I could

She said ‘You’re lucky you can play guitar
I don’t know what my talents are, I never got that far
Takes all my energy just tryna act hard and thinking
If my daddy loves me why I gotta live with grandpa then?’
After the teacher called me in and told me
You were never coming back again
My heart sank deep down ‘cos I’d lost a friend
I’ll never know how your side of the story went

I know you got problems chasing your tail
Teach yourself come-backs and learn how to fail
Out with the boys now they’ll do you no good
Fix all your problems, I wish that I could

Cos we’ll always have problems, that’s the way that life goes
You can learn from them or let them take hold
But you don’t have to listen when they say you’re no good
Fix all your problems, I know that you could
