Analysis of Im Clumsy Thats All



Been getting mysterious scratches on my wrists
It's really strange to see
Like blood red welts running deep.

Some patched up in  black
Some fresh and new
I really don't know what happened
I don't

I get questioned a lot
By people around me
And I started to lie about it
 -I'm clumsy that's all
I got scratched on the wall
That's really what happened last night

I don't lie a lot to cover up the truth
But this is not meant to be heard
I hate being judged for my dumb actions
So I come up with a little white lie instead

-I'm clumsy that's all
I got scratched on the wall
That's really what happened last night
