The Downsides

Just this once (believe me)
You hate how I'm always right
You never listen to me
Over and over and over again
I'm driving you home tonight

And you can't blame the distance, persistence
Or time and though I'm far from perfect
I know that I always tried, I always tried

I try to be honest, I try to be sincere
I tried so hard not to dwell
But it never seems I do any of these too well
And all I've ever asked of you is one chance
To let you down

Just this once (believe me)
You hate how I'm always right
You never listen to me
Over and over and over again
I'm driving you home tonight

And I need to know what's in your head
With one hand on the wheel, the other hand in yours
This moment is far from perfect
And I've got the drive but I won't try anymore
