  • I hear you've got your troubles, or so I've been told
    Maybe just a couple but I'm not quite sold
    I'm indifferent to the difference between tomorrow and today
    Less an indiscretion than a lesson I've been paid
    And the stages of recovery can signify your age
    Like rings around a stump
    Oh, that's something I know a little bit about, child
    Lately, it's been getting a little bit crazy
    I don't wanna be complaining, complaining, oh

    All my friends go to bed
    Dreaming up a reason they should weep, weep
    And all my friends go to the ends of the earth
    For secrets they don't wanna keep

    Well this is my confession
    Yes, yes
    This is me confessing
    God bless
    The sad and selfish
    Stay helpless

    Cause I've always been stronger than that
    Hold the weight of the world on my back
    It's just love, selfish love
    Love, selfish love

    I've got nothing to confess, yes
    I've got nothing to confess, yes
    I've got nothing to confess, yes
    I've got nothing to confess, yes

    It's too easy to be scared sometimes
    I'm not gonna lie like I don't understand
    But it's like the whole world is jumping off the bridge
    And you don't want to be the one standing on dry land

    All my friends go to the ends of the earth
    For secrets they don't wanna keep

    Well this is my confession
    Yes, yes
    This is me confessing
    God bless
    The sad and selfish
    Stay helpless

    Cause I've always been stronger than that
    Hold the weight of the world on my back
    It's just love, selfish love
    Love, selfish love

    I've got nothing to confess, yes
    I've got nothing to confess, yes
    I've got nothing to confess, yes
    I've got nothing to confess, yes

    Yes, yes
    This is me confessing
    God bless
    The sad and selfish
    Stay helpless

    Cause I've always been stronger than that
    Hold the weight of the world on my back
    It's just love, selfish love
    Love, selfish love

    I've got nothing to confess, yes
    I've got nothing to confess, yes
    I've got nothing to confess, yes
    I've got nothing to confess, yes Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
