Alkaline Trio - Balanced On A Shelf Lyrics
A somewhat inviting, very different of kind of hell
To live without ever looking at yourself
You see life is so much simpler when it's balanced on a shelf
That's been unperfectly placed there in the sun
Now look at how you're admired by everyone
Now they know your name
But is it real?
All your bad habits have become your life's appeal
And then it's, "Where did you go wrong?"
Where did you go wrong?
You're screaming, "Where did you go wrong?"
Where did you go wrong?
Well first of all, and worst of all
You looked inside yourself, didn't care much for what you saw
Can you imagine?
Did you ever play with dolls?
You can protect your cotton heart behind a skin of porcelain walls
You keep staring to your future through these marble eyes they show
Everything I'm never ever gonna have
That's a giant pill
But swallow if you can
You'll start again
You'll change your name, and be reborn
And begin to mend all that has been torn
And then it's, "Where did you go wrong?"
Where did you go wrong?
You're screaming, "Where did you go wrong?"
Where did you go wrong?
Well first of all, and worst of all
You looked inside yourself; didn't care much for what you saw
For what you saw

Alkaline Trio Balanced On A Shelf Comments
I love Alkaline Trio and if I’m honest. Dans tunes are my favourites. Such catchy tunes. Especially this one.
I've always been partial to dan, too. And somehow have stayed fixated on this song since the album dropped.
@Some Dude I think it's one of the best songs in their catalogue. This whole EP has a really special feel.
2018 will be a big year for the A3
This doesn't suck. Refreshing
Rusty Sarkela none of their songs suck
love this band and song.
Love me some A3 with a side of coffee
Gabriel Zalasar its alk3 but close enough lol
youre screaming "where did you go wrong? where did you go wrong?"
you see life is so much simpler when its balanced on a shelf...
One of their most underrated songs...fantastic.
Love this song.. "All your bad habits have become your life's appeal"
yes good alkaline trio its been awhile
This song is insanely good. Both the song and the lyrics are melting my brain.
this song is difficult to play, the timing during the chorus is hard to pick up on :x
MrNoX12 on what instrument?
easily the best song on the EP

IM NUMBA 6
The EP is included in the Deluxe edition of My shame is true, in iTunes.
Do you mind me asking how you got your hands on the EP already?
New EP is awesome. Better than "
My Shame is True"
Sure is. One of my favourites from the new record/EP.
Is this real?
