It's not my fault, it can't be my fault
That you speak to me the way you do
Now I'm split in two, I'm half me and half you
But I hate us both, don't you?

No, of course you don't, of course you don't
You say life is peachy without me
Of course you don't, of course you don't
You say life is peachy without me

And it's not your fault, it can't be your fault
That I let you crawl inside my head
'Cause now you know my places and know that face
But I hate this taste, don't you?

No, of course you don't, of course you don't
You say life is peachy without me
No, of course you don't, of course you don't
You say life is peachy without me

Un-grip me
Un-learn me
Un-grip me

It's no one's fault, it's nobody's fault
That I fell on you and you on me
That's what humans do as they pass on through
But I think we can't, don't you?

No, of course you don't, of course you don't
You say life is peachy without me
Of course you don't, of course you don't
You say life is peachy without me
