Time is a butcher 

and just like everyday 

the blade is gonna fall and we're helpless 

I don't mean to bum you out 

but I just gotta say 

Truth is anything I agree with 



Don't believe what I say anymore 

Hang around... I just wanna go home 

It pays to not know anything at all 

But your secret's safe with me 



CHORUS: 

I am the Idiot Child 

Gonna pick a brand new fight tonight 

We all got problems of our own 

Isn't that so... 

Isn't that so? 



Heart is a fugitive 

Always on the run 

It's gonna cost somebody to catch it 

Wait 'til your daddy gets home 

Promise me you'll wait til you're not alone 

What will you sacrifice to hold it 



Don't believe what I say anymore 

Hang around - I just wanna go home 

It pays to not know anything at all 

But your secret's safe with me 



Repeat CHORUS 



Lookin' out the window 

It's not like I remember it 

But it was sweet of you to wake me 

I don't mean to kick myself 

Don't wanna cry 

I just need someone to believe in me 



Repeat CHORUS
