You’d think that I would learn to hold my tongue once and for all.

But I’m growing old and still running off my mouth like I can’t get enough.
E F#m D
But save your mercy for the lost.
E A D
I don’t have time for these regrets.

And don’t you dare remind me of the cost
E A D
‘cause how the hell could I forget?

F#m D F#m D
And I’ve gotten good at pulling people in and pushing everyone away.

I’ve shouted words and said hateful things that no one decent should say.

Chorus: (Strumming)
A E D
God only knows the darker side of me.
E A
The pieces of my heart I don’t want you to see.
E D
And heaven forbid you find out who I am
E A
‘cause if you knew the truth I’m terrified you’ll leave.
E D
I’ve got to change or I’ll die alone.
E A
And I don’t deserve all the grace that you’ve displayed.
E D
I’ll nail you to the cross again ‘cause once was not enough.
E A
My sinful heart feels way too gone now to ever be saved.

And write my name upon your heart
