Don't Go To Bed Mad At Me

From sunrise until I open my eyes

There's so many things to do, yet so little time

That's no excuse for the way that I've treated you

You wanted my time but it's like I deleted you

Like I was too busy, you persisted to get through to me

You kept saying wait "wait, please just give me one more minute

And I'll be there just as soon as I'm finished"

And so you waited and waited so patient

I never came through and left you vacant

That's my mistake for all the times that I've wasted

I can't give it back and now I'm so frustrated

I'm sorry, don't be mad at me

And let the sun go down

Don't go to bed mad at me

I'm sorry, I've turned around

Don't let the sun go down

Don't go to bed mad at me

I know it seems like I'm avoiding you

I didn't pick up the phone when I was supposed to

Or call back when you left your number and name

This was like a game, guess what, you fell for it

Aw man, once again I fell forward

I was too lazy to be held to my commitments

I stayed silent like it's time for an opinion

I was the yes man, too scared to make waves

And be honest from the things I might say

I was supposed to have your back and you have mine

But when you turned around, I was gone every time

Blind to what I had but now I see it

I said some things that I can't change

I had some thoughts inside that were so vein

In the heat of the moment, I can't take them back

Or use the excuse that I was just mad

What comes from the mouth comes from the heart

There's little bits of truth to every remark

Instead of lifting you up, I tore you apart

Like a whip with every single lash that ripped in

The back where I stabbed you

Then idly remained as I watched and laughed too

I was so ego-driven and pride got the best of me

If I could take your pain away I would gladly
