Whatever

Nothing was saving our day 
there was nothing to say, 
but you said something anyway 
claiming I stepped out of line 
which forced you to leave me, 
as if that idea was mine. 
[Chorus] 
Oh, you stupid thing 
speaking of course as your dear departed 
oh, you stupid thing 
it wasn't me that you outsmarted, 
you stupid thing 
Stopping it all before it even started 
I bet you knew it would come 
that's just like you, to sit back 
and just play it dumb 
one word of warning would help 
but that sacrifice was made 
trying to save yourself 
[Chorus] 
Oh, you stupid thing 
speaking of course as your dear departed 
oh, you stupid thing 
it wasn't me that you outsmarted 
oh, you stupid thing 
stopping it all before it even started 
Maybe that's just how I am 
to fall where I stand, 
or I'm weak for that kind of man 
one who looks helpless and brave 
but you turned into a coward 
I don't care for the parts you saved. 
[Chorus] 
Oh, you stupid thing 
speaking of course as your dear departed 
oh, you stupid thing 
it wasn't me that you outsmarted 
Oh, you stupid thing 
speaking of course as your dear departed 
oh, you stupid thing 
it wasn't me that you outsmarted: 
Oh, you stupid thing. 
Oh, you stupid thing. 
Oh, you stupid thing. 
Oh, you stupid thing.
