Lyrics:

VERSE

Never made it as a wise man

I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealin'

Tired of livin' like a blind man

I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling

POST VERSE

This is how you remind me of what I really am

This is how you remind me of what I really am

PRE CHORUS

It's not like you to say sorry, I was waiting on a different story

This time I'm mistaken for handing you a heart worth breaking

CHORUS

I've been wrong, I've been down, been to the bottom of every bottle

These five words in my head scream "are we havin' fun yet?"

VERSE

It's not like you didn't know that

I said I love you and I swear I still do

And it must have been so bad

Cause livin' with me must have *** near killed you

POST VERSE

This is how you remind me of what I really am

This is how you remind me of what I really am

PRE CHORUS

It's not like you to say sorry, I was waiting on a different story

This time I'm mistaken for handing you a heart worth breaking

CHORUS

I've been wrong, I've been down, been to the bottom of every bottle

These five words in my head scream "are we havin' fun yet?"

BRIDGE

Never made it as a wise man

I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealin'

Tired of livin' like a blind man

I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling

POST VERSE

This is how you remind me of what I really am

This is how you remind me of what I really am

PRE CHORUS

It's not like you to say sorry, I was waiting on a different story

his time I'm mistaken for handing you a heart worth breaking

CHORUS

I've been wrong, I've been down, been to the bottom of every bottle

These five words in my head scream "are we havin' fun yet?"
