Lyrics

Stupid Thing

Nothing was saving our day

There was nothing to say

But you said something anyway

Claiming I stepped out of line

Which caused me to leave you

As if that idea was mine

Oh, you stupid thing

Speaking of course as your dear departed

Oh, you stupid thing

It wasn't me that you outsmarted

Oh, you stupid thing

Stopping it all before it even started

I guess you knew it would come

That's just like you to sit back and just play it dumb

One word of warning would help

But that sacrifice was made

Trying to save yourself

Oh, you stupid thing

Speaking of course as your dear departed

Oh, you stupid thing

It wasn't me that you outsmarted

Oh, you stupid thing

Stopping it all beforе it even started

Oh, you stupid thing

Oh, you stupid thing

Maybе that's just how I am

To fall where I stand

Or I'm weak for that kind of man

One who looks helpless and brave

But you turned into a coward

I don't care for the parts you saved

Oh, you stupid thing

Speaking of course as your dear departed

Oh, you stupid thing

It wasn't me that you outsmarted

Oh, you stupid thing

Speaking of course as your dear departed

Oh, you stupid thing

Stopping it all before it even started

Stupid, stupid
