self-inflicted wounds

you got a lot of nerve blaming someone else for your mistakes

you got a lot of nerve to bopping up your head when you can't carry your weight

yeah

it's a put on another late night show

yeah

it's a put on pretending you don't know

the self inflicted wounds

you did 'em on your own

yeah

you were first to draw the knife

last to throw the stone

oh

the trust in me

i have abused

oh

take mercy on my

self inflicted wounds

you never get away with trying to tell yourself one of your own lies

you never get away holding back those tears trying not to cry

darling

hold on

let me try to explain

darling

hold on

tryin' to own all this pain

the self inflicted wounds

i did 'em on my own

i was first to draw the knife

last to throw the stone

oh

your trust in me

i have abused

oh

take mercy on my

self inflicted wounds

i'm looking for redemption

love's hallowed ground

i'm praying for forgiveness

and i've searched around

but there's none to be found

self inflicted wounds

i did 'em on my own

you were the first to draw the knife

last to draw the stone

oh

the trust in me

i have abused

oh

have mercy on my

self inflicted wounds

oh

have mercy on my

self inflicted wounds
