Verse 1] My story looks selfish in other people’s eyes They say I’m cruel, and I don’t deny I’ll admit it’s true, I’m not proud to say But every time, I never see my way [Pre‑Chorus] And then I turn into a fool A fool who repeats the same old rule [Chorus] I’m the dumbest person in the world, it’s me I don’t think anyone could be more foolish than I be I’m the dumbest person in the world, that’s plain to see Stupid to the point of wonder, stupid enough to make you laugh at me [Verse 2] Why am I always like this, again and again? Why do I never learn, why can’t I mend? Old mistakes come back around, the same refrain And I keep failing in the same way [Bridge] Sometimes I wish I could be wise To understand this world through clearer eyes But then I forget once more, and lose the thread Forget that I’m the dumbest one instead [Chorus] I’m the dumbest person in the world, it’s me I don’t think anyone could be more foolish than I be I’m the dumbest person in the world, that’s plain to see Stupid to the point of wonder, stupid enough to make you laugh at me [Interlude / Image] Look at the scars left on the dinner plate Words of scorn instead of “I’m here” or “I’ll wait” Raised on “just endure,” taught to “disappear” inside Those phrases grew up with me and never left my mind [Chorus — Family] From the way my family cared, I could already guess What my ending would look like, how I’d progress I won’t be different from them in the end The more I hate, the more I become what I intend (isn’t that so?) [Verse 3] I tell myself I won’t become like them But the shadow in the mirror knows everything then My hands shake when I start to shout My voice turns into theirs, and I’m filled with doubt [Chorus — Family Repeat] From the way my family cared, I could already guess What my ending would look like, how I’d progress I won’t be different from them in the end The more I hate, the more I become like them (can’t escape) [Bridge 2] How many times tonight have I asked myself Can I cut this cycle, break free from this shell? I’m afraid to wake and find another version of him Living inside my body, someone I can’t look at or win [Final Chorus] From the way my family cared, I could already guess What my ending would look like, how I’d progress I won’t be different from them in the end The more I hate, the more I turn into them The more I hate, the more I become like him
