() Intro: Verse: I fear I'm dying of complications Complications due to things that I've left undone That all my debts will be left unpaid Feel like a cripple without a cane I'm like a jack of all trades Who's a master of none Verse 2: Then there's my father He's always looking on the bright side Saying things like "son life just ain't that hard" He is the grand optimist I am the world's poor pessimist You give him buttons sometimes And he will escape unscarred Pre-Chorus/Chorus: I guess I take after my mother (2x) I used to be quite resilient Gain no strength from counting the beads on a rosary Now the wound has begun to turn Another lesson that has gone unlearned But this is not a cry for pitty or for sympathy I guess I take after my mother (2x)
