Same Stripes

With you it’s the same Only difference is I feel the shame But I only have myself to blame That’s how it seems to work this game My effort comes naturally Your presence seems forced to me I see that you can’t just act carefree I think I have that figured out pretty accurately You like to wait me out But you can’t wait yourself You like to torture me with rules So it’s just me that ends up looking like a fool Luck has it, we are similarly vain Except you’re the only one with something to gain Whereas I am just going insane Yet I keep subjecting myself to the pain
