Don't make your strokes about Leaving a mark you wished you'd live without Go make your jokes about Some token trophy scar and how you got it In the time allotted Until it goes away A know it all sings after all But I won't sing anything Let me paraphrase my troubled days And live like nothing has changed I always coax you and I A little chance to sway Some more little lies I know everything that needs to be known I'm not afraid anymore A know it all sings after all But I won't sing anything Let me paraphrase my troubled days A know it all sings after all But I won't sing anything Let me paraphrase my better days And live like nothing has changed
