Verse Lyrics (play Main riff 2x more):

"I woke up this morning, and realized
All I do is apologize
For a song I wrote in 2005
Didn't come with a warning
But fame is unkind
Put me on top of the world
Couple of girls and then left me behind"

Lyrics:
"I wrote you a love song
Now it's something that you hate on
And I'm sad the record's broken
But I don't think I can write a
Better love song
Without it I'd be no one
And now that you've forgotten me
Tell me how to write one better"

Lyrics:
"I'm not gonna lie
Saying I didn't work out
'Cause I live in a big house, made a few pounds
Nice car on the drive
And I went round the world once or twice
Saw the sun set and sun rise
But for big highs, there's a big price
When all you do is criticize"
