If it's all the same to you, I've decided that I'm lacking proof A basic thread of unbelief could unravel your attempt at truth You could blame it on her, you could pin it on him - that'd be a lie 'Cause there's no subtle dispute or selfless pursuit Those things are marked by what they hide No surprise that you've found yourself in too deep Blame your checkered past for your lack of sleep But make sure you count your blessings while you're counting sheep If nothing more remains for you, it's decided that you leave confused A simple case of hit and miss, you offered something more than you can give You could blame it on her, you could pin it on him - but you don't want a fight And there's no subtle pursuit or selfless pursuit Those things are marked by what they hide No surprise that you've found yourself in too deep Blame your checkered past for your lack of sleep But make sure you count your blessings while you're counting sheep Asleep in your uncertain future No one else can tell you what you came here for or read your thoughts If confidence is open-ended there's no guarantee you'll be protected now There's no safety house You can't just stay and rest here in my regard for you No surprise that you've found yourself in too deep Blame your checkered past for your lack of sleep But make sure you count your blessings while you're counting sheep
