You spend too much time sat in your bedroom, on your PC

Are you sure you couldn’t have found the time,

Swallowed your pride and admitted your jealousy

Sometimes I’m bad, sometimes I’m rotten, sometimes I say things I probably,

should have forgotten about people or things

Do you know who I am, I’m like a Morrissey with some strings
