Nothing New
Ashlee Simpson · Autobiography
I found myself wrong again
Staring out my window
Wondering what it is I should have said
I found myself at home again
Waiting for the after call
The fallout that feels like such a mess
Ohhhh I can only be myself
I'm sorry that's hell for you
Heyyy so what's my damage today
Don't let me get in your way
Let it out like you always do
The trouble between me and you
Is nothing new
So I listen to you complain and then
I bite my tongue in vain again
As I let it all just slowly settle in
Such a pretty picture that you paint
I'm so vile while you're a saint
Funny how your eyes see thick not thin
Ohhhh I can only be myself
You're lookin for someone else
Heyyy so what's my damage today
Don't let me get in your way
Let it out like you always do
The trouble between me and you
Is nothing new
You know how to give it but you can't take it
It's all just a waste now you can save it
No matter what I do
Is never good enough, never good enough
Heyyy so what's my damage today
Don't let me get in your way
Let it out like you always do
The trouble between me and you
Is nothing new
Is nothing new
Save your breath cause here comes the truth
I'm over the drama of you
And that's something new
I'm staring out my window
Wondering what it is I should have said
Staring out my window
Wondering what it is I should have said
I found myself at home again
Waiting for the after call
The fallout that feels like such a mess
Ohhhh I can only be myself
I'm sorry that's hell for you
Heyyy so what's my damage today
Don't let me get in your way
Let it out like you always do
The trouble between me and you
Is nothing new
So I listen to you complain and then
I bite my tongue in vain again
As I let it all just slowly settle in
Such a pretty picture that you paint
I'm so vile while you're a saint
Funny how your eyes see thick not thin
Ohhhh I can only be myself
You're lookin for someone else
Heyyy so what's my damage today
Don't let me get in your way
Let it out like you always do
The trouble between me and you
Is nothing new
You know how to give it but you can't take it
It's all just a waste now you can save it
No matter what I do
Is never good enough, never good enough
Heyyy so what's my damage today
Don't let me get in your way
Let it out like you always do
The trouble between me and you
Is nothing new
Is nothing new
Save your breath cause here comes the truth
I'm over the drama of you
And that's something new
I'm staring out my window
Wondering what it is I should have said
