If all mistakes were made in stone 
 I’d build a wall so tall you’d see for miles 
 And every man and child would come to see 
 Stand and laugh at me 
 Like you would not believe 
 And I can’t blame ‘em 
 It’s kind of funny when you start to think about the kind of fool who breaks his heart as often as the Moon 
 Shows its face to you 
 And I regret to say politely I'm the guy who’ll more than likely lose like I always do 
    So tell me are you running scared 
 'Cause you know that I'm beyond repair 
 Oh baby I'm a master of the ancient art of always fucking up 
 Everything I’ve ever loved 
 'Cause I wrote the book, the study of the ancient art of always fucking up   
 May I have your attention please 
 Step right up and see the most amazing 
 The absolutely mind inflaming show 
 About a boy who sold his soul 
 For a shot at love and gold 
 And he almost made it, but lost it on the way 
 The story goes 
 Now he’s the kind of fool who breaks his heart as often as the Moon, shows its face to you 
 And I regret to say politely 
 I'm the guy who’ll more than likely lose like I always do   
 So tell me are you running scared 
 'Cause you know that I'm beyond repair 
 Oh baby I'm a master of the ancient art of always fucking up 
 Everything I’ve ever loved 
 It falls from me, like autumn leaves the wake I make it scattered with debris 
 Of everything that could have been 
 'Cause I wrote the book, the study of the ancient art of always fucking up   
 And I'm plagued by design 
 Forget all my lines 
 I’ve burned all my blessings more than half the time 
 Been trapped in my ways but I'm desperate to change 
 So let me know if you’ll stay   
 So tell me are you running scared 
 'Cause you know that I'm beyond repair 
 Oh baby I'm a master of the ancient art of always fucking up 
 Everything I’ve ever loved 
 It falls from me, like autumn leaves the wake I make it scattered with debris 
 Of everything that could have been 
 'Cause I wrote the book, the study of the ancient art of always fucking up
