Coming Clean

listen babe i think its time for me to come clean

i mean i haven't been the most faithful

and i dont know how else to say this plain and simple

i been cheatin belive me

this isnt easy especially since youve been so good to me

the hardest thing ive ever done is tellin you your not the only one

just understand this

you made a man outta ignorance and

like a boy i toyed with innocence

this double lifes not worth livin not givin more to her and i apologize

[chorus]

and its all part of the game

its just the same old thing with a different name

and we can try and drown the pain

but we both swim to submerge ourselves

and im tired of the shame

of bein the fool too cool

to mantain two dames

and all i need is time

please forgive me darling

the blames all mine

when i come home to you with open arms

insist on pressin on my overcoat

the alcohol and still cigarette smoke

i know youve been skeptical

i play it off like your dillusional

the fact is that im losin you

and im scared she doesnt want me

the way i need her to know

she doesnt want me

the way i need her to

im pleading with the judge on my knees

god please just make these charges go away

[chorus]

girl i promise ill do my best to impress the jury

cause when the smoke settles

and one of us falls to the dirt

it was worth all of the hurt

and if not lets cut our losses

cause you crossed the line

thinkin id choose you over music

thats just stupid

this whole situations bogus

especially since im so focused

from the beggining to the end

and we in with these friends

unfortunatley this is hopeless

did my best to juggle both of you

struggled but im still here holdin you

tie the man up

stand up

put your hands up

if you understand what im goin through

[chorus]
