Amends Lyrics

Amends lyrics

Well I'm sorry and I apologize 

for any pain I may have caused you 

and I made you my enemy 

but now I need you as my friend 

and I've been wrong for so long 

not to ask for your forgiveness 

and if you don't accept, I'll understand 

but I need to make amends 

but I need to make amends 

It's hard for me to say this 

but I've been going through some changes 

and I'm really not quite sure where to begin 

I've been kissing devils 

and fighting angels 

putting the rest of you in danger 

and blaming you for the turmoil beneath my skin 

and my twisted versions of the truth 

are a weak man's attempt to look better than you 

can't believe your pain never gave you a grin 

and I've wanted to kill a thousand times 

but I think I just thought that I wouldn't survive 

but I found happiness ain't something you win 

Well I'm sorry and I apologize 

for any pain I may have caused you 

and I made you my enemy 

but now I need you as my friend 

and I've been wrong for so long 

not to ask for your forgiveness 

and if you don't accept, I'll understand 

but I need to make amends 

but I need to make amends 

Well I've lied to you so many times 

with a mad desire to control your mind 

searching for things that no one finds 

and I've killed your time and stole you blind 

I've taught you things you don't need to learn 

so I can cut in line and take your turn 

I've filled your head with snakes and worms 

on my search for a bridge to burn 

I wanna live with no uncertainty 

but that man in the mirror's been hurtin' me 

and I've come to you 'cause there's nowhere else to go 

Well I'm sorry and I apologize 

for any pain I may have caused you 

and I made you my enemy 

but now I need you as my friend 

and I've been wrong for so long 

not to ask for your forgiveness 

and if you don't accept, I'll understand 

but I need to make amends 

but I need to make amends 

If you see me sad, don't pity it 

I've been a god damn idiot 

My life, my fault, my actions make me break 

and I can't even see it, so be it 

that's what I think 

when everybody's gonna blame the world 

I blame my mom and dad and put it in a song 

I'm weak, so I act strong 

I'm short, so I talk long 

and layin' in the hospital 

I think, have I been wrong? 

all along 

I'm 29, still playin' "look at me" 

what am I, three? 

self-esteem on E 

can't you see 

I've been often neglegent 

almost never benevolent 

I think I'm intellegent 

but mostly irrelevant 

'cause I ain't changed one bit 

even though I quit 

who cares if I'm sober if 

I'm still gonna steal shit 

I had to be broken down 

another apocalypse 

to see what I had missed 

and just come and tell you this 

my pride, gotta suck it up 

my gut, gotta tuck it up 

so here goes, dawg 

I love you 

I fucked it up 

Well I'm sorry and I apologize 

for any pain I may have caused you 

and I made you my enemy 

but now I need you as my friend 

and I've been wrong for so long 

not to ask for your forgiveness 

and if you don't accept, I'll understand 

but I need to make amends 

but I need to make amends 

Well I'm sorry and I apologize 

for any pain I may have caused you 

and I made you my enemy 

but now I need you as my friend 

and I've been wrong for so long 

not to ask for your forgiveness 

and if you don't accept, I'll understand 

but I need to make amends 

but I need to make amends
