Peeping Tom
Placebo-Acoustic Lyrics

I'm careful not to fall
I am cautious and mindful to avoid stumbling or making mistakes

I have to climb your wall
I need to overcome the barriers and obstacles you have put in place

'Cause you're the one
Because you are the person who has the significant impact

Who makes me feel much taller than you are
You have the ability to boost my confidence and make me feel superior to you, despite your actual height

I'm just a peeping tom
I am a voyeur, observing from a distance without active participation

On my own for far too long
I have been isolated and alone for an extended period of time

Problems with the booze
I have difficulties and issues related to alcohol

Nothing left to lose
I have reached a point where there is no longer anything of value or significance to risk or forfeit

I'm weightless, I'm bare
I feel unburdened and exposed, with no emotional or physical weight

I'm faithless, I'm scared
I lack trust and belief, and I am filled with fear and apprehension

The face that fills the hole
The person who occupies the void and emptiness within me

That stole my broken soul
They took away my damaged and fragmented essence

The one that makes me seem to feel much taller than you are
They have the power to give me an illusion of superiority over you, regardless of your actual height

Troubles with the gear
I encounter difficulties and complications with my equipment or tools

Nothing left to fear
There is no longer anything that scares or intimidates me

With every bet I lost
For each wager or gamble I failed to win

And every trick I tossed
And for every deception or cunning strategy I employed

You're still the one who makes me feel much taller than you are
Despite my failures and tricks, you are still the person who elevates my confidence and self-perception

I'm scared
I am afraid
