The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I fucked up

I made a mistake

Nobody does it better than myself

I'm sorry

I'm not afraid to say

I wish I could take you back but I can't

I'm so ashamed

You're in so much pain

I blamed you when things didn't go my way

If I didn't, you'd be here

If I didn't fight back I'd have no fear

If I took another path

Things would be so different, but they're not

I could have just kept my big mouth closed

I could have just done what I was told

Maybe I should have turned silver into gold

But in front of you

I was cold

I fucked up

I made a mistake

Nobody does it better than myself

I'm sorry

I'm not afraid to say

I wish I could take you back but I can't

I thought we had it all

You brought out the best in me

And somehow I destroyed the perfect dream

I thought we were indestructible

I never imagined we could fall

Do you wanna know how to make God laugh?

Tell him your plans

We coulda bought a house with a swimming pool

Fill it up with Warhols

It would be so cool

Could have gone riding stallions in the countryside

With a pack of Great Danes

Racing eye to eye

We could have toured the world in a private jet

Run naked on the beach all soaking wet

We could have climbed a mountain, seen a perfect sunrise

Written our names across the sky

We could have gotten drunk and driven on the Autobahn

We could have got ourselves arrested in St. Germain

We could have lived life crazy till the day we die

Instead I made you cry

I fucked up

I made a mistake

Nobody does it better than myself

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry

Je suis désolée

I wish I could take you back but I can't

I fucked up

I made a mistake

Nobody does it better than myself

I'm sorry

I'm not ashamed to say

I wish I could have you back

Maybe one day

Or not
