I Don't Wanna Be An Asshole Anymore

(album: Rented World - 2014)

Yeah!
Last Friday night I wasn't me
I was a still life trapped in eternity
I was the focal point; out of focus, out of ink

And I've been wandering nightly
Through the garden of your heartache
Always making a mess, always stumbling out the door

But I don't wanna be an asshole anymore

Baby, baby I'll be good to you
I don't wanna be an asshole anymore
Baby, baby I'll be good to you
Baby, baby I'll be good to you

Another night, I devoured the sun
And plunged myself into the depths of oblivion
Yeah somewhere along the way I found why
It feels damn good just to bleed sometimes
All I ever wanted was to make things right
The years of idleness and spite
Have pushed my emotions off a bridge
After taking them hostage with a shotgun

Now they're somewhere treading water
Somewhere lost inside the man that I'm not
But I don't wanna be an asshole anymore

Baby, baby I'll be good to you
I don't wanna be an asshole anymore
Baby, baby I'll be good to you
I'll be good to you
I'll be good, I'll be good, I'll be good

I won't lie no more
About where I've been
And I won't pry no more
Over the people that you're hanging with
You're the only lover that I ever missed
Ever been hopelessly in love with
Look at this tangle of thorns
I don't wanna be an asshole anymore

Yeah, I don't wanna be an asshole anymore
Oh no, no, no
