Tonedeaf Lyrics

Have you ever wondered why no one ever smiles when you strut your pompous self into the room?

Have you but considered why everyone glares when you interrupt their train of thought to state your own opinion?

Do you think that you're smarter than us?

Yes, I know 'cause you've said as much

But shut up and listen for once in your life

You may just have time to save it

I see little things outside my window but I never asked you to explain them

I dream little dreams that fog up the glass but I never wanted you to clean them

Came in and assumed what I wanted

Assumed that you offered the best

Assumed that you said what I needed to hear

But it all sounded a little tonedeaf

Ooh, you're looking haughty

Like you've got the perfect comeback to stuff me back into my place

Maybe you'll yell and scream

Telling all my secrets

Or at least the ones you think would really hurt me

But what happened to being a decent human?

What happened to reading the room?

You always want to be winning

But the losers will dance on your grave

I see little things outside my window but I never asked you to explain them

I dream little dreams that fog up the glass but I never wanted you to clean them

Came in and assumed what I wanted

Assumed that you offered the best

Assumed that you said what I needed to hear

But it all sounded a little tonedeaf

Now you want to leave

But where do you think you'll go?

No one will sing in your key

Might as well take a lesson from me

I see little things outside my window but I never asked you to explain them

I dream little dreams that fog up the glass but I never wanted you to clean them

Don't ever assume what I want

That's always for the best

Only respond after listening

And you may not sound so tonedeaf
