lyrics

it feels like a sickness all the time
oh it's awful being so thoughtful
cursed with a considerate mind

and i wonder now what triggered
this little lifelong luck
where i trust so quick
and i care too much

it makes me feel weak
it makes me feel weird
when i realize that hurting other people
is my greatest fear

how did i get so fucking gentle?
how did it come to this?
i can't deal with how those other boys treat you
when i can't even fake a kiss

oh here's my deal
i want to keep it real
so lets have a heart to heart
and let it all spill out

oh i'm a good guy oh don't be fooled
honesty brands my hands with a golden rule
and i'm here to calm any of your doubts

but i've got no strong right cross
ain't got no home run swing
just my open heart
and these words i sing

how did i get so fucking gentle?
how did it come to this?
which moves did i make, oh what mistakes
made me so sensitive?

i will love you hard
with my soft-spoken charm
but i don't gotta hear that i'm the best
yeah i'm not in this for the conquest

but how did i get so fucking gentle?
how did it end up like this?
i can't deal with how those other boys treat you
when i can't even fake a kiss on your lips
