lyrics

I’m on the rebound from life here tonight but you can’t make the same mistake twice
Once it happens again it’s a trend
So I'll try to pretend I'm not me I’ll be whoever you want me to be
I’ll keep compromising and keep on denying it I wish somehow you could see

I always had nothing to lose until I found you
Now I’m just scared of the truth
Because if you ever knew about the whole mess of two decades I've been through
I swear to God I'm a different man
But you won’t want to hear or believe it and then that’s the end

I could never explain all of this to a kid what a terrible father I’d be
And I guess that makes me less appealing
Nevermind, I’ll never live that long to answer for everything that I’ve done wrong
My liver won’t make it to see my heart break and I hope you don’t cry when I’m gone

I’m on the rebound from life here tonight and a sweet dream or two would be nice
There’s just too much I can’t put to sleep
And it’s all gonna catch up to me I just need one more day to put it off
Then maybe my liver won’t make it to see my heart break
Least I know you won’t cry when I’m gone
