     Why is everything I do right, wrong
     And everything wrong, right?
     Why is it when I try,
     It's always seen in the wrong light?

     Why is everything I say
     Isn't what should be
     Instead, I'm told what is right
     My mistake displayed for all to see

     Every act, every movement
     It isn't the right one
     But when I do things that aren't right
     Somehow, it's what I should have done

     Every word, every glance
     It was the wrong thing to do
     And with everyone, a bad impression
     And they don't seem to get a clue

     This one time I was joking
     Another, slip of tongue
     This other time I was just kidding
     But to me, it's no fun

     I wish I didn't have these problems
     But they seem to be stuck with me
     So every cursed day I live
     In terrible agony

     There's nothing I can do
     No place I can hide
     From all these dreadful things
     Or to rest and heal inside

     I continue on, hurting more
     And I suffer all the same
     And to this person, I do know
     This person, she has no name
