"There's No Telling" lyrics

"There's No Telling"

I'm not gonna sugar coat it...
I'm not gonna sugar coat it...

Back in the day
I was floating away
On a wave of neon pleasure
Then it came to an end
Now I fail to pretend
To enjoy my quiet leisure
I did x, y and z
Mostly for free
When I paid
It was totally worth it
Then wrong became right
In the middle of the night
Well, I never said I was perfect

There in the mirror I see
A sad and lonely man
But there's no telling
There's no telling
What I really am
In my mind you'll find
Such a great and wondrous plan
But there's nobody
There's nobody
There to give a damn

I danced in the line of fire
Like a bullet proof ballerina
Had a real field day
And I still got away
So don't cry for me, Argentina
Now I dabble in repentance
But you can't turn back the clock
When you dropped your moral compass
In a bathtub in Bangkok

Was that who I was?
Is this who I am?
My mind does what it does
But it's a total sham

Here in the mirror may be
A sad and lonely man
But there's no telling
There's no telling
What I really am
In my mind you'll find such
Great and wondrous plans
But there's nobody
There's nobody
There to give a damn

There is no telling
There is no telling
There is no telling
What I am!
And there's nobody
There is nobody
There is nobody
To give a damn!

So no need to sugar coat it
No need to sugar coat it
No need to sugar coat it
Anymore
