I 'bout run out of patience
Waiting for poor, poor me
All the expectations
That I started to believe
Well there was never any doubt
I’d figure it all out
I’m all out of patience
Waiting for poor poor me
All out of patience
Waiting for poor poor me
Well I checked-out
Before ever checking-in
I thought I knew every ending
Before it’d even begin
But they pay arrogance out in full
And man I got my fill
When I checked-out
On poor poor me
When I checked-out
On poor poor me
When I was in high school
I hated my own face
And you knew I loved you
And I was useful that way
But if anything has changed
I wish you would explain
Why next to my name
It still reads poor poor me
Next to my name
It still reads poor poor me
It was like a promise
That what I wanted would be mine
And I went to college
My head heavy with these lines
But if every promise is a joke
Then every truth I ever thought I spoke
Was just a promise
On poor poor me
It was just a promise
On poor poor me
When I last saw you
I knew you right away
And the look that you threw me
Said everything you didn’t have to say
Just who do I think I am
With all my little plans
Oh but when I saw you
Poor poor me
When I last saw you
Poor poor me
Got into the habit
Of poor poor me
And I kind of like it
Below the surface of the sea
Where everything is cool
And I can dwell on you
Got into the habit
Of poor poor me
