I Just Can't Live Like This Anymore

She said I just can't live like this anymore
With all your shit lying around on the floor
And please don't touch what you know you can't afford
I just can't live like this anymore

Well I yell until I'm red in the face
I build a platform from which to pontificate
Then I storm off to perpetrate some fresh disgrace
The high ground I've long since had to vacate

And I'm getting older but I'm not any wiser
And the tales I tell myself are getting taller
But for me to change at this stage is a big ask
And I just don't think that I'm up to the task

And I'm getting older but I'm not any wiser
And the tales I tell myself are getting taller
But for me to change at this stage is a big ask
I just don't think that I'm up to the task

So I just can't live like this anymore
With all my dreams and schemes and
games machines and pieces on the floor
And I can't go backwards but I'm not going forwards
I just can't live like this anymore
