[ Intro ] [ Verse 1 ] I'm having to apologise, For the things they say I do. It's all a bit embarrassing, I feel like such a fool. I hate to feel the rushing, Those thoughts running through my head. Everything becomes a blur, When I am seeing red! [ Chorus ] I'm begging you, to not assume. That you know how I feel. I'm tryin' to keep a lid on it. He always takes the wheel. I really wanna keep control. All quiet and polite. But I swear if you push me... You Won't Like The Other Guy! [ Verse 2 ] It's like I am living two lives, Just not at the same time. There's moments I wake up, In someone else's mind. He's the part of me I hate the most. I can't make him comply. But he is me and I am him. This I cannot deny! [ Chorus ] I'm begging you, to not assume. That you know how I feel. I'm tryin' to keep a lid on it. He always takes the wheel. I really wanna keep control. All quiet and polite. But I swear if you push me... You Won't Like The Other Guy! [ Bridge ] [ Final Chorus ] I'm begging you, to not assume. That you know how I feel. I'm tryin' to keep a lid on it. He always takes the wheel. I really wanna keep control. All quiet and polite. But I swear if you push me... You Won't Like The Other Guy! [ Outro ]
