VERSE 1
I try to talk, I try to help
I try to make suggestions but you merely yell
That I’ve got problems too
I’m worse off than you
But you can’t look in the mirror at what’s right in front of you
PRE-CHORUS 1
Look inside and ask yourself
Is this really me? Is this how I want to be?
Look inside and ask yourself
Is this really me? Is this how I want to be seen?
CHORUS
Cuz it’s easier to blame me and to hate me than to fix yourself
Yes it’s easier to blame me than to break free of what’s wrong
VERSE 2
Peel back the layers of the onion
And if you dig deep, extract the bitter from the sweet
Squeeze out the sour from the lemon
Open your senses and you’ll find the hidden treat
PRE-CHORUS 2
Look inside and ask yourself
Is this really me? Is this how I want to be?
Look inside and ask yourself
Is this really me? Is this how I want to be seen?
CHORUS
Cuz it’s easier to blame me and to hate me than to fix yourself
Yes it’s easier to blame me than to break free of what’s wrong
BRIDGE
You’ve got more issues than a magazine
More Drama than a TV scene
More hang ups than the phone company
But it’s easier to blame me
More trouble than my favorite game
You refuse to change so you’re still the same
It’s easier to place the blame
Yes easier to blame me
PRE-CHORUS 3
Look inside and ask yourself
Is this how I want to be?
Look inside and ask yourself
Is this really me? Is this how I want to be seen?
CHORUS
Cuz it’s easier to blame me and to hate me than to fix yourself
Yes it’s easier to blame me than to break free of what’s wrong
