u either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

(album: could the grass be greener - 2023)

Dinner down on 9th Street, oh
I'm just glad you'll see me, oh
I know we're not speaking, oh
But, girl, I'm only human, I'm only human

Me and my stupid mouth
Could go another round
If I could just get this out
Would you keep me around? (Yeah)

I never meant to make you cry
I let you down one time
And now I'm the bad guy
I never meant to make you cry
You're telling me you're fine
And spilling your red wine

Keep me at a distance, oh
But I stay persistent, oh
More like inconsistent, oh
It's over in an instant, oh
You got every reason, oh, you do
You don't have to listen, oh, it's true
I just want to try again, oh, I do
But, girl, I'm only human, I'm only human

Me and my stupid mouth
Could go another round
If I could just get this out
Would you keep me around?

I never meant to make you cry
I let you down one time
And now I'm the bad guy
I never meant to make you cry
You're telling me you're fine
And spilling your red wine

I never meant to make you cry
I let you down one time
And now I'm the bad guy
I never meant to make you cry
You're telling me you're fine
And spilling your red wine
