I'm my daddy when I drink

My mama when I cry

I'm honest when I tell the truth

And lying when I lie

And there's a lot of things that I don't do

'Cause I don't follow through like I want to

But I don't want to


The devil's begging for me time

The good Lord for my soul

I'm always easier to catch

Than I've ever been to hold

I'm a twisted rose, a tangled weed

The last thing that I need is to want you

'Cause I don't want to


But that ain't what this love's about

My heart ain't on my side

And if someday it don't work out

Then we can say we tried


I'm not afraid of anything

But now I'm running scared

I know the hurt that this could bring

Is more than I could bear

I'm tired of wearing lonely shoes

I've nothing left to lose that I don't want to

But I don't want to


'Cuz that ain't what this love's about 

My heart ain't on my side

And if someday it don't work out

Then we can say we tried


That ain't what this love's about

My heart ain't on my side

And if someday it don't work out

Then we can say we tried


Yeah we can say we tried
