Hypocrite

I've gotta put my feet in

to see if the water's too cold.

I've gotta taste the broth to know

If it needs salt.

And I check my watch

To see if i'm running on time

And I talk in to the mirror sometimes

Tell myself I'm gonna be fine.

But I am a hypocrite

I sing about love but I can't waltz

And I say I'm a romantic

Just so it's never my fault

I've got to peel off the layers

That my life has caked on

And just by snapping my fingers

Erase everything that's gone wrong.

Cuz I am afraid to leave here

But I know staying here is worse

So on the count of three

I'm ripping off this band aid

I'm breaking the curse

I am a hypocrite

I sing about love but I can't waltz

And I say I'm a romantic

Just so it's never my fault

This ain't my fault

This ain't my song.

I'm okay; it's good.

I'd like to warm myself by the fire

Right next to where I hurt.
