==============================

Verse 1 (w/Fig. 1)

=======

You may not recall the moment that you asked me

But your invitation was clear

You'll pretend you've never met me but it's far to late

Now I'm here

Chorus (w/Fig. 2)

======

Cause I'm the one who knows what scares you

I'm the one who loves you best

I'm the thirteenth at the table

I'm the uninvited guest

I'm the Banquo at your banquet

I'm the cuckoo in your nest

I'm your fifteen-stone first-footer

I'm the uninvited guest

Verse 2 (w/Fig. 1)

=======

I was there when you said insincere "I love you's"

To a woman who wasn't your wife

And I fronted you the money

That you ran away and blew

On the biggest regret of your life

Chorus (w/Fig. 2)

======

Cause I'm the one who knows what scares you

I'm the who loves you best

I'm the thirteenth at the table

I'm the uninvited guest

I'm the Banquo at your banquet

I'm the cuckoo in your nest

I'm your New Year's resolution

I'm the uninvited guest

Break

=====

I'm the face you hoped you'd never see

But always knew you would

I'm the one thing you knew you shouldn't do

But did because you could

*(w/Guitar Part) at this point

I'm the *evil in your bloodstream

I'm the rash upon your skin

And you made a big mistake all right

The day you let me in

And you can fly to the other side of the world

You know you'll only find

I've reserved the seat behind you

We can talk about old times
