lyrics

In an attempt to clear my soul and free some energy
I release my need to be
the right one, the smart one, the holy one
I'm sorry
please forgive me
I apologize for being a fill in the blank
please forgive me.

As soon as I was old enough to turn a page
I was handed a mighty script
a comedy
a romance
and a Hamlet ending
A sword and some poison
Either I use it or I lose my Golden Globe
please forgive me.

I'll use my sword to cut away
burned out stories of yesterday...

...and I'll use my charm because
I'm the cute one
admit it
doesn't change the fact that
I am sorry, please hear my sincerity
I see how I hurt you when I fill in the blank
Please forgive me.

This was my attempt to clear my soul and free some energy
I hope it was right for you, was wise for you, was holy for you...
