I've gotta put my feet in to see if the water's too cold
I've gotta taste the broth to know if it needs salt
And I check my watch to see if I'm right on time
And I talk to the mirror sometimes, say to myself
'you're gonna be fine'
I am a hypocrite
I sing about love but I can't waltz
And I say that I'm a romantic
Just so it's never my fault
It takes all sorts of energy
Keepin my smile on straight
Makin sure all the bills get paid
Putting my big dreams away
I am a hypocrite
I sing about love but I can't waltz
And I say that I'm a romantic
Just so it's never my fault
I wanna peel off the layers
That my life has caked on
Just by snapping my fingers
Erase everything I've done wrong
Cause I am afraid to leave you
But i know staying here is worse
So on the count of three I'm ripping of this bandaid
I'm breaking the curse
I am a hypocrite
I sing about love but I can't waltz
And I say that I'm a romantic
Just so you don't think it's my fault
I wanna warm myself by a fire
Sittin right next to where I hurt
Where I hurt
