I wish I could wake up,
This would all be over,
but I have to face the things I'e done
I'm sick of running out of excuses
Chorus:
my excuses
hae become something I'm not
something I've fought
so all these lies have torn me apart
but now i see so much more of me
and how i let you come undone
come undone
I want you to know
I'm giving up this time around
I know it doesn't build your trust with me
(chorus)
I know it will take some time to heal
from what I've done
I'm sorry I let you down
but I'm human, only human, yea we're human
and sometimes we become something we're not
something we've fought
all these lies have torn us apart
but now i see so much more than me and how
I let you come undone
