Lyrics:
Three out of ten, do it again, maybe you’ll come out a four.
Breathe in the pain, breathe out again, leaving your mess on the floor.

Well if you can’t find love you’ll always have those years of keeping score...
And if you don’t look now you will not get to see what lies in store.

I’m taking all the - the blame, the blame.
I’m finished with this game - this game.
Just like music through my - brain, my brain.
Oh, it’s driving me insane - insane.

It was my fault, without a doubt, but now I’m making it right.
I should have known, picked up the phone, maybe it wasn't my fight...

Well if you can’t find love you’ll always have those years of keeping score...
Don’t look now you will not get to see what lies in store -

I’m taking all the - the blame, the blame.
I’m finished with this game - this game.
It’s just like music through my - brain, my brain.
It’s driving me insane - insane.

So I leave you to your games,
Just messing with their undeveloped mainframes.
Does it make you feel more in control?
Or was that always just the underlying goal?

I’m taking all the - the blame, the blame.
I’m feeling all their pain - their pain.
It’s just like music through my - brain, my brain.
Oh it’s driving me insane - insane.
It’s just like music through my - brain, my brain.
Oh it’s driving me insane - insane.
