I Fucked Up



Lyrics

I fucked up, I made a mistake
Nobody does it better than myself
I'm sorry, I'm not afraid to say
I wish I could take it back but I can't

I'm so ashamed
You're in so much pain
I blamed you when things didn't go my way

If I didn't, you'd be here
If I didn't fight back, I'd have no fear
If I took another path
Things would be so different but they're not

I could've just kept my big mouth closed
I could've just done what I was told
Maybe I should've turned silver into gold
But in front of you I was cold

I fucked up, I made a mistake
Nobody does it better than myself
I'm sorry, I'm not afraid to say
I wish I could take it back but I can't

I thought we had it all
You brought out the best in me
And somehow I destroyed the perfect dream

I thought we were indestructible
I never imagined we could fall
You wanna know how to make God laugh
Tell him your plans

We could've bought a house with a swimming pool
Filled it up with Warhols, it would be so cool
Could've gone riding stallions in the country sides
With a pack of Great Danes, racing eye to eye

We could've toured the world in a private jet
Run naked on the beach all soaking wet
We could've climbed a mountain, seen a perfect sunrise
Written our names across the sky

We could've gotten drunk and driven on the autobahn
We could've gotten ourselves arrested in St. Germain
We could've lived like crazy til the day we die
Instead I made you cry

I fucked up, I made a mistake
Nobody does it better than myself
I'm sorry, je suis désolée
I wish I could take it back but I can't

I fucked up, I made a mistake
Nobody does it better than myself
I'm sorry, I'm not ashamed to say
I wish I could have you back maybe one day
Or not
