Bad Habits

The Devil made me do it

That's always the excuse

Every time I turn my back on you

But the fault is wholly mine

Whenever I choose

To do the things you don't want me to do

I don't know why I do

All the things to disappoint you

And I don't know why you love me anyway

 

(When) I fall into the same old bad habits

The same old bad choices

The same mistakes and compromises

That I always make

But you tell me I'm forgiven

And your arms are open wide

And you give me all the love that I can take

 

I'm tired of living with the guilt

That eats me up inside

When I think of all the bad things I have done

All the promises I've broken

All the truth that I denied

And every consequence from which I've run

So excuse me if I have

A little trouble understanding

Why you would even give me the time of day

 

There is nothing I can do

To make amends for hurting you

How can I say I'm sorry when

I know I'll do it all again

Apologies aren't good enough

To make me worthy of your love

But you give it anyway

And I don't know what to say
