You took my song from me and got it wrong
Every note and melody was too long
You took my words from me and let ‘em burn
Every answer, every lesson I learned
And when I gaze upon my notebook paper
Waiting for a new idea
I swear you have a first look deal into my brain, cos
You catch ‘em before they appear
You took my song from me and let it go again
The only one to blame is myself
You lock me in and leave the key for me to find
I want to go back to the start, leave you behind
I love it when you play my thoughts on rotation
At least I get a look in my mind
Before you say you don’t like seeing this new frustration
And stop me before I can rhyme
You took my song from me and got it wrong
Every note and melody was too long
You took my words from me and let ‘em burn
Every answer, every lesson I learned
You took my song from me and let it go again
The only one to blame is my notebook paper
The only one to blame is my new frustration
The only one to blame is myself
