2005

I woke up this morning

And realized

All I do is apologize

For a song I wrote in 2005

Didn't come with a warning

But fame is unkind

Put me on top of the world

Couple of girls and then

Left me behind

Sure, let's take a photograph

You can show it to your friends and laugh

I'll tell you what I'm doing now

But you don't really wanna know

I wrote you a love song

Now it's something that you hate on

And I'm sad the record's broken

But I don't think I can write a better love song

Without it I'd be no one

And now that you've forgotten me

Tell me how to write one better

I'm not gonna lie

And say it didn't work out

'cause I live in a big house

Made a few pounds

Nice car in the driveway

And I went world once or twice

Saw the sun set and sun rise

But for big highs, there's a big price

When all you do is criticize

Sure, let's take a photograph

You can show it to your friends and laugh

I'll tell you what I'm doing now

But you don't really wanna know

I wrote you a love song

Now it's something that you hate on

And I'm sad the record's broken

But I don't think I can write a better love song

Without it I'd be no one

And now that you've forgotten me

Tell me how to write one better

I don't think I can write one better

I wrote you a love song

Now it's something that you hate on

And I'm sad the record's broken

But I don't think I can write one better love song

Now it's something that you hate on

And I'm sad the record's broken

But I don't think I can write a better love song

Without it I'd be no one

Now that you've forgotten me

Just tell me how to write one better

I woke up this morning

And realized

All I do is apologize

For a song I wrote in 2005
