[Verse 1]
I was the stain
On the Sunday dress
The scribbled name
On a failed test
Family photo
I'm half cut out
Smile on my face
But I’m filled with doubt
[Chorus]
You can count on me to let you down
I’ll be the crack that splits the crown
Everything I touch burns to the ground (to the ground)
I’m the black sheep you try to forget
Bad bet
Yeah
I wreck what I get
[Verse 2]
I kill the mood
When I walk in
Say the wrong thing
Then say it again
You had your hopes
Hung from the beams
I swung my weight
Brought down your dreams
[Chorus]
You can count on me to let you down
I’ll be the crack that splits the crown
Everything I touch burns to the ground (to the ground)
I’m the black sheep you try to forget
Bad bet
Yeah
I wreck what I get
[Bridge]
I swear I start out trying
Then watch it rot in my hands (oh no)
I turn gold into rust
Just by making plans
If there’s a way to ruin
I’ll find it somehow
If you needed one reason to leave
Baby
You’ve got me now
[Chorus]
You can count on me to let you down
I’ll be the weight that makes you drown
Everything I touch burns to the ground (to the ground)
I’m the black sheep you try to forget
Safe bet
I’m the worst you’ll ever get
[Outro]
Raise your glass
For the family shame
Say my name low
Spit out the blame
I’ll take the fall
Wear your frown
You can count on me
To let you down
