Bad Habits
I’m sorry if I hurt you
It wasn’t truly my intent
Sometimes I just get blinded
By the hard truths that you’ve said
And though I’m doing my best
I know my best isn’t always perfect
So you’ll have to grant me pardon
When I show my helplessness
Oh, I have faith in this relationship
And I know we can see it through
We just need some understanding
Then our strength will be renewed
Cuz I’m not done
And I am so in love with you
Compared to him, I am much better
But that is just a bad excuse
For all the times I didn’t listen
Or thought I knew much better than you
Because deep down I fear
When I look into the mirror
I’l see parts of him in me and
That’s not what I want to hear
Oh, possibilities and small discrepencies
In all I say and all I do
I never wish to hurt, deceive your eyes
Ashamed, I admit, at times, it’s true
But I’m not done
And I hope that neither are you
When the ugliness of my pride
Or the thinking that I’m right
Covers the facts between us two
I try to open up my heart
To find the weakness deep inside
But that is often so hard to do
But I would do anything for you.
