I didn't go to your birthday party
And mingle with everybody
I didn't take off my clothes in the pool
I wasn't singing like Frank Sinatra
Not because I was afraid to be center stage
It was quite the opposite
Because I knew you'd be bummed if I took all your thunder
So I did the opposite

I never thought it would backfire
And I'd make it all about me
Now you're havin' a bad time
Because I made it all about me

Oh, once again
Once again
(And I always, I always do)
Once again
Once again
(And I always, I always)

I didn't go to the Grammy parties
'Cause nobody invited me
And I don't have any empty bodies
So I guess it didn't bother me
But then I sat on your couch, and proceeded to pout
So you would acknowledge me
And if you want it now, could you tell me now
So we can do it quietly?

I know you didn't want a sorry song
Or a fake party song
But it's all that I know how to do
I don't know why I made a sorry song
When you never wanted one
But it's all because I love
You

I never thought it would backfire
And I'd make it all about me
And now you're havin' a bad time
Because I made it all about me

Once again
Once again
(And I always, I always do)
Once again
Once again
(And I always, I always)
Yeah

I didn't go to the Gra'
