Zero

[Verse 1]

I’m starting from zero

I’m starting from scratch

Thought I’d finally grown up

Seems that I’m just growing back

People tell you you'll learn from mistakes that you make

But I just keep on breaking 'em again and again

I just wanted to please everybody at once

But I can’t stand confrontation, rather cut it and run

And I see now I should’ve stuck it out and explained

Hindsight’s a bitch for coming way too late

I used to be able to say it wasn’t me

Used to be able to say it wasn't me

[Chorus]

So I’ve got a loaded gun

And I seem to fire it just for kicks

'Cause I miss every time, I just hit you

And I guess I should’ve read the manual that I came with

'Cause now I’m just taking out my friends

I’m just taking 'em all down

I was just takin 'em all down

[Verse 2]

I was burning through bridges like a child with a flame

Setting fire to everything in a twenty-meter range

I think I need a signpost so you’d all understand

I’m a tryer, but my fire sometimes gets out of hand

'Cause once I start I just can’t seem to stop

So I run my mouth and watch my friends run off

[Chorus]

So I’ve got a loaded gun

And I seem to fire it just for kicks

'Cause I miss every time, I just hit you

And I guess I should’ve read the manual that I came with

'Cause now I’m just taking out my friends

I’m just taking 'em all --

[Post-Chorus]

Down deep inside I know that I am better than this train-wreck hot-head who should’ve listened when her mum said, "Won’t you think about what you’re saying?

"Mais, this ain't a game you’re good at playing

You’re too afraid of hurting feelings

To be good at playing people in the first place"

I was just taking them all down

[Bridge]

I’m starting from zero, gonna try put it right

I know when I take a step

I’m always two steps behind

Blame the education system for putting junk in my head

Fills up all of the space, leaves no room for clear sense

They taught me spelling and arithmetic

I wish that they’d taught me how to not be such a ... horrible person

[Chorus]

So I’ve got a loaded gun

And I seem to fire it just for kicks

'Cause I miss every time I just hit you

And I guess I should’ve read the manual that I came with

'Cause now I’m just taking out my friends

Oh, I’m just taking 'em all --

[Post-Chorus]

Down deep inside I know that I am better than this train-wreck hot-head who should’ve listened when her mum said, "Won’t you think about what you’re saying?

"Mais, this ain't a game you’re good at playing

You’re too afraid of hurting feelings

To be good at playing people in the first place"
