50 Percent

Have it your way...
I'm moving out I've...
Made a mistake and still you doubt me
Have it your way and no-one else's
And you're still
None the wiser


She's clanging in the kitchen loudly
A million times I've said I'm sorry (what's more)
Her way and no-one else's way
She couldn't meet me half the way


This grudge you hold is yours alone
Fifty percent of my mistake you own
What have you to gain
From keeping understanding in a ball and chain
Your little masquerades were just so goddamned unconvincing
That you dulled your blade
It's easier to blame by claiming faith in shaming someone else's name
When you know I don't deserve it


She's standing by her judgements proudly
Erroneous conclusions about me (what's more)
She's black and white but never gray
No - she never met me half the way


That ground you stand's been overblown
Fifty percent of my mistake you own
What have you to gain from keeping understanding in a ball and chain
Your little masquerades were just so goddamned unconvincing
That you dulled your blade
It's easier to blame by claiming faith in shaming someone else's name
And you know I don't deserve this


This grudge you hold is yours alone
Your quiet cunning thoughts have shown
Your head has been your only home
And will you ever realize
Your twisted thoughts are self-despised
Projections of distrust that lies between the truth
Of binds that tie directly to the fact that you --
You take yourself too seriously!
