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 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 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 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 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 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 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 fifteen-stone first-footer I'm the uninvited guest Let me in! I'm your New Year's resolution I'm the uninvited guest
