I have this thing where I get older, but just never wiser
Midnights become my afternoons
When my depression works the graveyard shift, all of the people
I've ghosted stand there in the room
I have this thing where I get older, but just never wiser
Midnights become my afternoons
When my depression works the graveyard shift, all of the people
I've ghosted stand there in the room
[Pre-Chorus]
I should not be left to my own devices
They come with prices and vices
I end up in crisis
(Tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day, I'll watch as you're leaving
Cause you got tired of my scheming
(For the last time)
[Chorus]
It's me, hi
I'm the problem, it's me
At teatime, everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
[Verse 2]
Sometimes, I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
And I'm a monster on the hill
Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city
Pierced through the heart, but never killed
[Pre-Chorus]
Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism
Like some kind of congressman?
(A tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day, I'll watch as you're leaving
And life will lose all its meaning
(For the last time)
[Chorus]
It's me, hi
I'm the problem, it's me (I'm the problem, it's me)
At teatime, everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
[Bridge]
I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money
She thinks I left them in the will
The family gathers 'round and reads it
And then someone screams out
She's laughing up at us from hell
[Breakdown]
It's me, hi
I'm the problem, it's me
It's me, hi
I'm the problem, it's me
It's me, hi
Everybody agrees, everybody agrees
[Chorus]
It's me, hi (Hi)
I'm the problem, it's me (I'm the problem, it's me)
At teatime (Teatime), everybody agrees (Everybody agrees)
I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
Nina kitu hiki ambapo mimi huzeeka, lakini kamwe sio busara
Midnights huwa mchana wangu
Wakati unyogovu wangu unafanya kazi ya kaburi, watu wote
Nimekuwa na roho ya kusimama pale chumbani
[Pre-Chorus]
Sipaswi kuachwa kwa vifaa vyangu mwenyewe
Wanakuja na bei na tabia mbaya
Ninaishia kwenye shida
(Hadithi ya zamani kama wakati)
Ninaamka nikipiga kelele kutokana na kuota
Siku moja, nitaangalia unapoondoka
Maana umechoka na ujanja wangu
(Kwa mara ya mwisho)
[Chorus]
Ni mimi, hi
Mimi ndiye shida, ni mimi
Wakati wa Teatime, kila mtu anakubali
Nitaangalia moja kwa moja jua, lakini kamwe kwenye kioo
Lazima iwe ngumu kila wakati mizizi kwa anti-shujaa
[Mstari wa 2]
Wakati mwingine, nahisi kama kila mtu ni mtoto mzuri
Na mimi ni monster kwenye kilima
Kubwa sana kunyongwa, polepole kuelekea mji unaopenda
Kutoboa kupitia moyo, lakini hakuwahi kuuawa
[Pre-Chorus]
Je! Umesikia narcissism yangu ya kufunika mimi hujificha kama kujitolea
Kama aina fulani ya Congressman?
(Hadithi ya zamani kama wakati)
Ninaamka nikipiga kelele kutokana na kuota
Siku moja, nitaangalia unapoondoka
Na maisha yatapoteza maana yake yote
(Kwa mara ya mwisho)
[Chorus]
Ni mimi, hi
Mimi ndiye shida, ni mimi (mimi ndiye shida, ni mimi)
Wakati wa Teatime, kila mtu anakubali
Nitaangalia moja kwa moja jua, lakini kamwe kwenye kioo
Lazima iwe ngumu kila wakati mizizi kwa anti-shujaa
[Daraja]
Nina ndoto hii binti-mkwe wangu ananiua kwa pesa
Yeye anafikiria niliwaacha katika mapenzi
Familia inakusanya pande zote na kuisoma
Na kisha mtu anapiga kelele
Anatucheka kutoka kuzimu
[Kuvunja]
Ni mimi, hi
Mimi ndiye shida, ni mimi
Ni mimi, hi
Mimi ndiye shida, ni mimi
Ni mimi, hi
Kila mtu anakubali, kila mtu anakubali
[Chorus]
Ni mimi, hi (hi)
Mimi ndiye shida, ni mimi (mimi ndiye shida, ni mimi)
Wakati wa Teatime (Teatime), kila mtu anakubali (kila mtu anakubali)
Nitaangalia moja kwa moja jua, lakini kamwe kwenye kioo
Lazima iwe ngumu kila wakati mizizi kwa anti-shujaa
