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>
