There's No Telling

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, no

Back in the day, I was floating away
On a wave of neon pleasure
Then it came to an end, I have failed to pretend
To enjoy my quiet leisure

I did X, Y and Z, mostly for free
When I paid, it was totally worth it
Then in wrong became right
In the middle of the night
Well, I never said I was perfect

There in the mirror I see
A sad and lonely man
There's no telling
There's no telling
What I really am

And in my mind you'll find
Such a great and wondrous plan
But there's nobody
There's nobody
There to give a damn

I danced in the line of fire
Like a bullet proof ballerina
Had a real field day and I still got away
So don't cry for me, Argentina

Now I dabbled in repentance
But you can't turn back the clock
When you dropped your moral compass
In a bathtub in Bangkok

(Oh, oh-oh, oh)
Is that who I was?
(Oh, oh-oh, oh)
Is this who I am?
(Oh, oh-oh, oh)
My mind does what it does
(Oh, oh-oh, oh)
And it's a total sham

Here in the mirror may be
A sad and lonely man
There's no telling
There's no telling
What I really am

And in my mind you'll find
Such a great and wondrous plan
There's nobody
There's nobody
There to give a damn

There's no telling
There's no telling
There's no telling
What I am!
There's nobody
There's nobody
There's nobody
To give a damn!

So, no need to sugarcoat it
No need to sugarcoat it
No need to sugarcoat it, anymore
