[Verse 1]

If I win this fight, I'm gonna lose you

So we lay down how we used to

But I’ve been angry

I've been so tired

And I've given you every reason to hate me

Baby, that takes up so much of my mind


[Verse 2]

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


[Bridge]

You were like an angel, all еmaciated, dressed

Singing to mе out on the fire escape

Baby, I was never wanting it

Oh, 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

It was always money and time racing at me

I was out there trying to 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'll remember this


[Chorus]

Oh

Baby, forgive me for leaving

Baby, you knew

I can feel something in the ceiling

Something that I can't outrun

Don't come around here anymore

I'm gonna do it again

I wanted to be better so bad

I just don’t think I’m that man
