Change My Ways

​
[Intro]
I don't know why either
But I can't stop, I got my reasons
So maybe I gotta let you go
If you ask, you'll never know

[Hook]
You been this down this road too long to just make an effort
I fucked up, tried to be perfect, and don't know where it left us
And I don't know who's going through this hell
Is it the man in the mirror or is it myself?
You gotta just runaway
Because I won't ever change my ways
And it really hurts me to say
That I won't ever, ever change my ways

[Verse 1]
We're out of time and out of control
That be known, let me know if it's a yes or no
I don't know what to do with me
Goddamnit, you really got me up at 2:50
I don't love you like I used to, but you take the pain away
I stopped caring about you, but I pray you stay
This shit between us isn't right for my life yet
See that's the thing about this, no one's got it right yet

[Bridge A]
Lost in myself
I'm lost in my hell
Somebody help
Somebody help

[Hook]
You been this down this road too long to just make an effort
I fucked up, tried to be perfect, and don't know where it left us
And I don't know who's going through this hell
Is it the man in the mirror or is it myself?
You gotta just runaway
Because I won't ever change my ways
And it really hurts to say
That I won't ever, ever change my ways

[Bridge B]
I understand you now
And why you want me here
I'm chasing my dreams now
But they just ain't near

[Verse 2]
I've always been fucking terrible with females
So my ego got bruised saying all this, I ain't even get in the details
Really did something to my heart
I can't pull it together if you push us apart
And maybe it's just the language between us
I just think they don't understand it either
They might never understand it
Since our love ain't go how we planned it

[Bridge C]
I'm everything that's wrong
I can't escape it anymore
I don't know how you put up with it so long
Because this is something we can't afford

[Verse 3]
I know you going through hell, trust me
But I didn't know you really even loved me
Ain't hit first, but I didn't want to get laughed at
I know I'm the real problem, you don't have to bring up that crap
She doesn't believe in shooting stars
But she believes in shoes and cars
Doing all this and always talking shit
Goddamn, I thought I was a narcissist

[Interlude]
I gotta leave
I can't be in this place
My ego, you, and me
Can't fit in this cage

[Outro]
I might be Paris dreaming
But I need a place to pick up the pieces
(I screwed up
I screwed up)
I don't like to say it face-to-face
I'll guess we'll reunite one way
(I screwed up
I screwed up)
I don't want to open up, they think I'm mute
I've changed so much they think I'm new
(I screwed up
I screwed up)
We'll have to build our lives alone, then
Not everything has a happy end
Baby, leave, because I need you now
