I.O.U.

Oh I-I owe you, but how come it's took me this long to say it?

‘Cause I have been hiding the truth

Didn’t think I’d let you in on this shit.

But you know I wouldn’t be here

If it wasn’t for you, you see I’ve tried this on my own,

Oh, I owe you, imagine if I never got to see you again.

I’m gonna bite my tongue next time that you’re speaking,

‘Cause you deserve the time a day.

I abused your kindness with my weakness,

And threw it in your face.

Way to go, way to go, what a joke, I’m a joke,

If only you could see how I feel.

You bite your tongue next time that I’m screaming,

See, I ain’t angry with you.

There’s no escape in what I’ve done,

I hope you hear these words,

Lord, strike me down if any one of them’s untrue.

You are the reason I am what I’ve become, I owe you.

Even though you don’t want nothing, I owe you one.

Hand on heart, I don’t think there’s any other way to say this.

But I admit being a prick didn’t do me any favors,

I mean, I’ve been called every name under the sun’s in my eyes,

But it feels pitch black inside,

I swear I put you through so much, now I couldn’t lie to you if I tried.

I admit acting a fool didn’t do me any favors,

Imagine if I never got to see you again.

I bite my tongue next time that you’re speaking,

‘Cause you deserve the time a day.

I abused your kindness with my weakness,

And threw it in your face.

Way to go, way to go, what a joke, I’m a joke,

If only you could see how I feel.

You bite your tongue next time that I’m screaming,

See, I ain’t angry with you.

There’s no escape in what I’ve done,

I hope you hear these words,

Lord, strike me down if any one of them’s untrue.

See, you are the reason I am what I’ve become, I owe you.

Even though you don’t want nothing, I owe you one.

Oh, oh

Just bleed with me, at least speak to me,

I’m so sorry if I’ve drained you out.

That’s why I love you,

And I hope you’re glad you made me finally say it

That I’m nothing without you.

Just tell me Imma see you again

I swear I’ll bite my tongue next time that you’re speaking,

‘Cause you deserve the time a day.

I abused your kindness with my weakness,

And threw it in your face.

Way to go, way to go, what a joke, I’m a joke,

If only you could see how I feel.

You bite your tongue next time that I’m screaming,

See, I ain’t angry with you.

There’s no escape in what I’ve done,

I, I hope you hear these words,

Lord, strike me down if any one of them’s untrue.

‘Cause you are the reason I am what I’ve become, I owe you.

Even though you owe me nothing, I owe you one.

I owe you.

But you owe me nothing, ‘cause I owe you one.
