Please understand I've done all that I can And I'm sure of my spot in the sun On all doors I have knocked ADVERTISING And I'm sure they'll unlock Just as soon as they see that it's me I've bribed all I can To become a better man I've sold my soul once or twice And I hope that you see What I want you to see As we negotiate the price There's a tree in my eye Still I try to remove All the splinters that have fallen into yours Can't you see, I can't see Cause I'm blinded by me and All my concience has fallen on the floor Please understand I can't do this again Cause I've burned every bridge that I've crossed So I'm making this last It'll go just as fast Cause the tree in my eye's full of snow Oh, I've lied where I stood to your face cause I could And no it doesn't bother me When I smile at the sun, It reminds me I'm the one Do as I say but it's not free There's a tree in my eye Still I try to remove All the splinters that I have fallen into yours Can't you see, I can't see Cause I'm blinded by me and All my concience has fallen on the floor Please forgive me for the things I've done For I know not what I do cause, I'm the one Oh, I've lied where I stood to your face cause I could, And no it doesn't bother me Cause when I smile at the sun, It reminds me I'm the one Do as it say but it's not free There's a tree in my eye Still I try to remove All the splinters that I have fallen into yours Can't you see, I can't see Cause I'm blinded by me and All my concience has fallen on the floor
