Why Do I Do the Things I Hate? Lyrics

This is more than just a setback
Yeah I've done it again
As if Irony wrote the script
The things I hate have become habit
And I prove to myself
That talk is cheap
Unless you've got a strong will to back it
My worst days are when I'm honest with myself
I don't need a mirror, just silence
To know that I should be disgusted
I'm a hypocrite, though it sounds harsh
Who doesn't fit your definition

No one said this would be easy
So why did I think it would be?
Why do I do the things I hate?
I can take the blame but not the weight

The thing about compromise
Is something's gotta give
And it feels like the good left in me
It was a slow decay
To where I am today
What's worse is I didn't even notice

My worst days are when I'm honest with myself
I don't need a mirror, just silence
To know that I should be disgusted
I'm a hypocrite, though it sounds harsh
Who doesn't fit your definition
No one said this would be easy
So why did I think it would be?
Why do I do the things I hate?
I can take the blame but not the weight

I can take the blame but not the weight

I can't take the weight

If we're all living just the way that we want
We can't complain when we end up like this
If we're all living just the way that we want
We can't complain when we end up defeated

(I can carry the blame but not the weight)
