Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I win this fight
I'm gonna lose you
So we lay down
How we used to
[Verse 2]
But I've been angry
I've been so tired
And I've given you every reason to hate me
And baby, that takes up so much of my mind
[Verse 3]
Oh, lay with me
You've got a lot of nerve
And yeah, I said some things
But you drew blood first
All my enemies
All have held a mirror to me
And I'm sorry
I thought I was ready to be seen
[Chorus]
Baby, forgive me for leaving
Baby, you knew how I was
I can feel something in the ceiling
Something that I can't fight off
[Verse 4]
You were like an angel, all emaciated
Dressed, singing to me out on the fire escape
Baby, I was never wanting it
I was only ever proving to me that I could do it
And I did it, until I couldn't
And I knew it
But I wanted to be wrong so bad
[Verse 5]
It was always money and time racing at me
I was out there tryna make my life
And you said I was clipping your wings
And oh, then we went to bed, baby
Never mentioned it again, baby
But oh, I remember it
Hell, if nothing else, I remember this
Oh
[Chorus]
Baby, forgive me for leaving
Baby, you knew
How I was
I can feel something in the ceiling
Something that I can't outrun
[Outro]
Don't come 'round here anymore
I'm gonna do it again
I wanted to be better so bad
I just don't think I'm that man
