VERSE

I don't owe you my heart

And I don't owe you my body

But you should know that

I'm sorry

For being careless with you

Lord knows I owe you more

Than I'm pretty sure I ever could give anybody

But I can't pin down what normal people want from foreign objects,

bottom shelf erotic products like me.

So I could hold your hand

but keep you at arm's length

Or hang me from a branch too high to climb

and shake Less rare than scarce,

less diamond than rough

Unlikely to be more than just the coal

you fail to crush

CHORUS

And I swear

I'm really trying

| C |

VERSE

Get it together, Will, know and do better

It just don't come natural

to me to think that you'd want me for me

I swear I'm really trying

Oh I'm sorry, I promise

I'm doing my best

I just haven't learned how to be human as you are yet

| C |

VERSE

I still don't know who you are I only know that

I'm still lonely

That morbid sort where even company can't cure me

And the more you reassure the less I trust

But still you gave me your heart

I only gave you my body

Honestly thought nobody'd want it, let alone notice it's gone

and so I left it home

but now, now, now, now

I keep a locket with a picture

on the back of my head

Oh, monkey-wrench my side

view mirrors ghost my friends

I've lived more lives than enough,

I haven't died quite as much

But I'm not a real person,

just the shit you can't make up and I

CHORUS

I swear I'm really trying

I'm

just as exposed if I take off my clothes

when we make the closest thing to love

that I'm capable of and I don't know why you would care

but I'm really trying

Oh, I'm sorry, I promise

I'm doing my best

I just haven't learned how to be human as you are yet

BRIDGE

See I'm really have any of that gravity

Maybe you're quicksand

Because I really couldn't tell

how deep my footprints went

The vertex of my redemption arc,

the searching on that virgin heart

I'm catatonic in your arms,

crying how did I cause so much harm?

I'm down, pounding my head

against the Kitchen floor

Apologizing for my life and ever entering yours

Don't say I'm sorry but this can't go on

I know you've got scars of your own

But hide my knives before you go

I'll either live or die alone

I

CHORUS

swear I will die trying

I'm still in the process but

I'm making progress

I promise I honestly wanna prove improvement's possible

I swear I'm so fucking sorry

I'm not a good person,

I'm barely a person at all

But someday I'll be perfect

and I'll make up for it all

How would you rate this song?
