If I said I'm sorry, would you even understand?
Thoughts of my past self speak to the person that I am
I've been losing sleep, I toss and turn
But there's so much I haven't learned
As I grow old, I'm more concerned
These words will reach you as I start to fade away
Maybe I should explain
I, I create my distance
Why I don't ever listen
You kept me safe and sound
And still, I always let you down
I, I'm so self-destructive
Why am I so reluctant?
To let these habits end
Close this book and start again
Never again, never again, never again
Never again, never again, never again
Oh, no
If I said I'm sorry, would you give me a fair chance?
Let me catch my breath, I swear I'll help you understand
I wasn't myself, I was someone else
Losing you was not good for my health
I've been in a panic, this is hell
Maybe I should give up, wish you well
I'm sorry, I'll start over again
I, I create my distance
Why I don't ever listen
You kept me safe and sound
And still, I always let you down
I, I'm so self-destructive
Why am I so reluctant?
To let these habits end
Close this book and start again
Never again, never again, never again
Never again, never again, never again
I'm trying so hard to be
Someone that you could love easily
I, I create my distance
Why I don't ever listen
You kept me safe and sound
Still, I always let you down
I, I create my distance
Why I don't ever listen
You kept me safe and sound
And still, I always let you down
I, I'm so self-destructive
Why am I so reluctant?
To let these habits end
Close this book and start again
