I'm not quite as bad as you think I am,
Not quite as good as you might have planned,
I'll let you down and I'll do it again, yeah,

I'll burst your bubble,
I'll burst your bubble,
I'll burst your bubble,
The thin membrane's in lots of trouble.

I value all the words you don't want to hear,
Conceal every doubt that you've learned to fear,
Your heroes are just human and this much is clear...

I'll burst your bubble,
I'll burst your bubble,
I'll burst your bubble,
The thin membrane's in lots of trouble.

Come early, take a number and then stand in line,
Where I'll wrap each disappointment in a warning sign,
No, there'll be no big surprises when I'm in decline.

I'll burst your bubble,
I'll burst your bubble,
I'll burst your bubble,
The thin membrane's in lots of trouble.

You say your prayers; please include my name if my humanity causes you some pain,
Hoping for the best and I will do the same,
So hold up my heart if I twist your brain.

I'll burst your bubble (I'm not as bad as you think I am)
I'll burst your bubble (I'm not as good as you might have planned)
I'll burst your bubble (yes, I'll let you down and I'll do it again)
I'll burst your bubble (come early, take a number and in stand in line)
I'll burst your bubble (I'll wrap each disappointment in a warning sign)
I'll burst your bubble (well, there'll be no big surprises when I'm in decline)
I'll burst your bubble (well, I'll burst your bubble, I'll burst you bubble)
I'll burst your bubble (I'll burst your bubble)
I'll burst your bubble (I'll burst your bubble)
