Clouds of guilt
Oh, it's just the way I'm built
Clouds of guilt
Feel guilty when I leave
Feel guilty when I stay
Feel guilty when I'm down and out, and
When I'm overpaid
Feel guilty when I'm right
Feel guilty when I'm wrong
Even feel a pinch of guilt just singing you this song
Don't ask me why it is
It's just the way I'm built
Even days of sunshine are dimmed
By clouds of guilt
And if these words don't rhyme
Or a bit of milk gets spilt
I find myself overshadowed
By heavy clouds of guilt
Clouds of guilt
Oh, it's just the way I'm built
Under clouds of guilt
Feel guilty when I'm late
Or early to a ball
Strange to say, feel guiltiest when I've done nothing at all
Missed the funeral of a friend
That one stung for years
(I feel guilty) but stranger still, felt even worse for swallowing my tears
Don't ask me why it is
It's just the way I'm built (guilty)
Even days of sunshine are dimmed (why?)
By clouds of guilt
And if these words don't rhyme
Or a bit of milk gets spilt
I find myself overshadowed
By heavy clouds of guilt
Clouds of guilt
Oh, it's just the way I'm built
Clouds of guilt
Oh, it's just the way I'm built
Is it some genetic flaw that is to blame?
Or old religious training steeped in shame?
I'm guilty of feeling guilty all the time
Wish there was a way to free my mind
Don't ask me why it is
It's just the way I'm built
Even days of sunshine are dimmed
By clouds of guilt
And if these words don't rhyme (I feel guilty)
Or a bit of milk gets spilt
I find myself overshadowed
By heavy clouds of guilt (guilty)
Can never seem to get away (why?)
From all these clouds of guilt (clouds of guilt)
Oh, it's just the way I'm built
Under clouds of guilt
