lyrics

I haven't been sober for a long time
And you can buy a dozen of my excuses for a dime, but I tried
To put your feelings before mine
But you can tell by the look in my eyes that I'm lying to you
I'm lying to you
I never, ever tell the truth

I'm sorry mama, I'm sorry dad
I'm not the golden boy that you wish you had
There's a beast inside, and I tried to hide
But it's dragging me down where I will never be found again
Do you know regret and shame
When I'm the one you have to blame
Every day is the fucking same
And I swear that it's got a hold of me

I'm sorry that I can't be a real man
I'm sorry that I hurt you, but you just don't understand
What I'm going through, it's what I've got to do
To keep myself alive and I swear I'm not lying this time

I'm sorry mama, I'm sorry dad
I'm not the golden boy that you wish you had
There's a beast inside, and I tried to hide
But it's dragging me down where I will never be found again
Do you know regret and shame
When I'm the one you have to blame
Every day is the fucking same
And I swear that it's got a hold of me

I dug a grave for myself and I'll be buried with my hopes and dreams, and what's left of my integrity
I've never been very good at apologies, but I owe it to you
So I'm sorry for being me
