[Verse 1]

If I said I'm sorry, would you even understand?

Thoughts of my past self speak to the person that I am

I've been losing sleep, I toss and turn

But there's so much I haven't learned

As I grow old, I'm more concerned

These words will reach you as I start to fade away

Maybe I should explain

[Chorus]

I, I create my distance

Why I don't ever listen

You kept me safe and sound

And still, I always let you down

I, I'm so self-destructive

Why am I so reluctant?

To let these habits end

Close this book and start again

[Post-Chorus]

Never again, never again, never again

Never again, never again, never again

Oh, no

[Verse 2]

If I said I'm sorry, would you give me a fair chance?

Let me catch my breath, I swear I'll help you understand

I wasn't myself, I was someone else

Losing you was not good for my health

I've been in a panic, this is hell

Maybe I should give up, wish you well

I'm sorry, I'll start over again

[Chorus]

I, I create my distance

Why I don't ever listen

You kept me safe and sound

And still, I always let you down

I, I'm so self-destructive

Why am I so reluctant?

To let these habits end

Close this book and start again

[Post-Chorus]

Never again, never again, never again

Never again, never again, never again

[Bridge]

I'm trying so hard to be

Someone that you could love easily

[Chorus]

I, I create my distance

Why I don't ever listen

You kept me safe and sound

Still, I always let you down

I, I create my distance

Why I don't ever listen

You kept me safe and sound

And still, I always let you down

I, I'm so self-destructive

Why am I so reluctant?

To let these habits end

Close this book and start again

[Post-Chorus]

Never again, never again, never again

Still, I always let you down

Never again, never again, never again

Oh, no

Never again, never again, never again

Still, I always let you down

Never again, never again, never again

Oh, no
