Gym Class Heroes - Coming Clean lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Listen, babe I think it's time for me to come clean<br>

I mean, I haven't been the most faithful<br>

I don't know how else to say this plain and simple<br>

I've been cheating, believe me, this isn't easy <br>

Especially as you've been so good to me<br>

The hardest thing I've ever done is telling you 'you're not the only one'<br>

Just understand that, you need a man not an ignorant<br>

And like a boy, I toyed with innocence<br>

This double life ain't worth livin', I've given more to her and I apologise<br>

<br>

And it's all part of the game<br>

It's just the same ol' thing with a different name<br>

And you can try and drown the pain<br>

But we both swim too well to submerge ourselves<br>

And I'm tired of the shame of being a fool too cool to maintain two dames<br>

And all I need is time<br>

Please forgive me, darlin' the blame's all mine<br>

<br>

When I come home to you with open arms<br>

And this smell of alcohol on my overcoat and cigarette smoke<br>

I know you've been sceptical and I've played it off like you're delusional<br>

But the fact is that I'm losing you<br>

And I'm scared she doesn't want me<br>

The way I need her to, no<br>

She doesn't want me<br>

The way I need her to<br>

I'm pleading with the judge on my knees<br>

God, please, make these charges go away<br>

<br>

And it's all part of the game<br>

It's just the same ol' thing with a different name<br>

And you can try and drown the pain<br>

But we both swim too well to submerge ourselves<br>

And I'm tired of the shame of being a fool too cool to maintain two dames<br>

And all I need is time<br>

Please forgive me, darlin' the blame's all mine<br>

<br>

Girl, I promise I will do my best to impress the jury<br>

'Cos when the smoke settles<br>

And one of us falls to the dirt, it was worth all of the hurt<br>

And if not, let's cut our losses<br>

'Cos you crossed the line, thinking I'd choose you over music?<br>

That's just stupid<br>

This whole situation's bogus, especially since I'm so focussed<br>

From the beginning to the end 'are we enemies or friends?'<br>

Unfortunately, this is hopeless<br>

Take my best and struggle home for you<br>

Struggle, but I'm still here holding you<br>

I'm tellin' the men, stand up<br>

Put your hands up if you understand what I'm going through<br>

<br>

And it's all part of the game<br>

It's just the same ol' thing with a different name<br>

And you can try and drown the pain<br>

But we both swim too well to submerge ourselves<br>

And I'm tired of the shame of being a fool too cool to maintain two dames<br>

And all I need is time<br>

Please forgive me, darlin' the blame's all mine<br>
