lyrics

Can you respect and understand that I am just a work in progress?
Can you tolerate the fact that I often contradict myself?
Can you find your fleeting patience when I've seemed to misplace mine?
Can you still love me when I don't even like myself?

Cuz I'm trying to convince myself that I don't need your affection
I tally up the score when I label every imperfection
looking for a red or green I find only flashing yellow
stop and go at my own discretion

Can you stand to be corrected, can you understand my backwards thoughts?
Can you please repeat yourself again? I didn't hear the first three times
Can you tolerate my awful jokes and smile when I start laughing?
Can you fill in the blanks of my stare, can you read my mind?

Cuz I'm trying to convince myself that I don't need your affection
I tally up the score when I label every imperfection
looking for a red or green I find only flashing yellow
stop and go at my own discretion

Won't someone tell me what to do?
Cuz I don't want to gamble, but I don't want to risk losing you
Won't something give me a sign?
Just to let me know everything will be just fine?
It will be just fine

Cuz I'm trying to convince myself that I don't need your affection
I tally up the score when I label every imperfection
looking for a red or green I find only flashing yellow
stop and go at my own discretion
