Sorry in Advance

[Verse]
I keep all my scars covered up
But every once in a while they open up
And new stitches only hold up for so long
So it's pretty obvious that something's wrong
Then for no reason my edges start to fray
And I worry about driving you away
And end up driving myself insane
Then end up back at square one again

[Pre-Chorus]
But I've spent time to make sure I'm at peace with my own mind
So I hope someday I won't regret that I didn't say

[Chrous]
That I'm sorry in advance for complicating things
And even wondering why I'm watching you walk away
Or have to hear myself say
That I'm sorry for this mess
And that I really tried my best
But instead I'll fall asleep smiling with you next to me, my dear
Then wake up with you still here

[Bridge]
I won't forget about the promises I make
Or multiply the chances that I take
Or torture myself each and every day
That these songs take me further away
I won't do my best to avoid being awake
I'll keep something in mind for my own sake
That even though I can't quite see an end
I know that soon I'll see you again

I won't forget about the promises I make
Or multiply the chances that I take
Or torture myself each and every day
That these songs take me further away
I won't do my best to avoid being awake
I'll keep something in mind for my own sake
I've learned from all my own mistakes
So I won't hear myself say

[Chorus]
That I'm sorry in advance for complicating things
Or have to wonder why I'm watching you walk away
I know I won't hear myself say
That I've created a mess through failing to do my best
There will be no reason to get depressed
No need for sorries in advance, or at any point in time
I'll just be patient and I hope you will be too
And I promise that you won't see me walk away
There will be no sense of decay
You can fall asleep smiling then wake up in the morning aware
That the smile is still there
