This is the uncensored, unadulterated me
Strip away all the pretense and
This is what you see:
A scared shitless little kid
Just the same as you
Trying like hell to figure out
Just what I’m gonna do
To get me through

I miss someone and I know
She misses me
Due to emotion and circumstance
We won’t get relief
All it would take is a silly little phone call
But we’re both stubborn as hell
If you’re one of them mutual friends of ours
Do me a favor, Tell her I wish her well

They say it takes two to tango
But I’m here on my own
As long as the music’s playing
I might as well dance alone

Sometimes I get so lonely
When I’m in a crowded room
I hide behind these squinted green eyes of mine
That’s when I think of you

You were where I grew up
And learned how to be a man
Where I first fell in love
First came to understand

The one you love and
The one who loves you
Is never, ever the same
Least that’s what old Chuck Palahniuk said
And I’d say he’s onto something

They say it takes two to tango
But I’m here on my own
As long as the music’s playing
I might as well dance alone

I’ve had my triumphs
And my fair share of regrets
But none quite so haunting
As the words I never said
I know you know I loved you
And you know I know you loved me
But I know enough to know
That don’t mean a goddamn thing

They say it takes two to tango
But I’m here on my own
As long as the music’s playing
I might as well dance alone

This is the uncensored, unadulterated me
Strip away all the pretense
This is what you see
