When I say the wrong thing When I go too far When I make a bad joke And then it breaks your heart When I can't help showing off And playing to the crowd I hope you'll still keep me around When I get defensive When my ego's bruised When I start throwing punches And the punches land on you When I'm trying to save face To find I'm only losing ground I hope you'll still keep me around For the love that I am lacking For the good I leave undone I confess I have not been the friend I'm desperate to become Somehow, you let me in No matter how I let you down And I hope you'll still keep me around When I'm overwhelmed And I won't ask for help When I look in the mirror And I don't recognize myself When I miss out on the fun Cause I'm too busy being proud I hope you'll still keep me around For the lessons I'm still learning In the hard-earned fields of truth For when I say I'm sorry Just to add some sad excuse Forgive me Forgive me Let's leave it there for now I'm sorry I'm sorry When I take you for granted As I'm prone to do When I forget how good it is To be at home with you You know just how to remind me When I can't quite figure out How much you still want me around Sometimes I can't believe You still keep me around
