Im Clumsy Thats All
Been getting mysterious scratches on my wrists
It's really strange to see
Like blood red welts running deep.
Some patched up in black
Some fresh and new
I really don't know what happened
I don't
I get questioned a lot
By people around me
And I started to lie about it
-I'm clumsy that's all
I got scratched on the wall
That's really what happened last night
I don't lie a lot to cover up the truth
But this is not meant to be heard
I hate being judged for my dumb actions
So I come up with a little white lie instead
-I'm clumsy that's all
I got scratched on the wall
That's really what happened last night
