The Thing Is

Is it the same thing, baby, for you
 Do you feel it all collapsing too
 Or is it just a phase I'm going through
 Wish I could say
 I knew
 I may look awake but baby I'm not
 I'm half asleep more often than not
 Cause I cannot face the coming onslaught
 I give it a day
 Or two
 And the thing is
 I just don't seem to know when to stop
 And the thing is
 I burn the only shelter I've got
 And the thing is
 I'm a thief who's only in it
 A thief who's only in it
 A thief who's only in it to get caught
 I know we're all bound to make our mistakes
 Sometimes you drop it, sometimes it breaks
 But must I always do whatever it takes
 To hear the sound
 The shattering makes
 So babe I think its only fair that you know
 Trouble seems to follow wherever I go
 And I won't say I told you so
 But this is your chance
 To go
 Cause darling I'm a mess
 Even worse than you could guess
 And I'm not going to fool you
 Into thinking there'll be progress
 Cause the thing is
 I just don't seem to know when to stop
 And the thing is
 I burn the only shelter I've got
 And the thing is
 I'm a thief who's only in it
 A thief who's only in it to get caught
 To get caught
 To get caught
