I'm angry and I'm tired
I'm upset and full of tears
But I'm not giving up on her
I mean, look at all the yearsI've tried and tried to be good enough
Tried to ignore my hurt for her
I let it all build up and up
Until I took it out on herShe doesn't deserve me
I'm a danger to her health
I don't deserve her, obviously
If I go, will she be well?Is she okay?
Did I make her cry?
I think I did today
And it tortures me insideAll the habits that I have
She puts up with every one
And maybe she doesn't understand
But I don't blame her for what I've doneI don't blame her for how I feel
I don't hold any of it against her
I'd try, I'd cry, I'd hurt, I'll conceal
I'd do anything for herI tend to overthink sometimes
I have bad habits too
I wish she knew just how much I try
To let her know just what I'm willing to doIt doesn't matter if she sees my side
It matters that I care
It matters that I was hurt and that's fine
It matters that she'll still be thereI'm sorry, I'm trying to fix things
Even when I don't know what to do
I'm sorry about how much it stings
But I'm telling her, I still love youAnd what that means, is I won't give up
Ignore me, toss me aside
Hit me with everything you have, get in more than one good punch
But know that I'm still trying to do you rightYou don't have to understand
I just need you to listen to me
I just need for you, by me, to stand
And whether I am right or wrong, know that I am sorry
