I Would

I'm disappointed in myself again
You know
It's always something that I just had to let go

But you were the one thing I wanted to do right in this world
It's just the TV, cigarettes, and a bed
And some cheap soft drugs to keep me in my head
And stop me from begging you to overlook my sins

And if I could change this day, I would
And if I could make you stay, I would

I always wanted to have this wild, exciting life
I swore I'd never, ever stop to check the price
But you were the one thing
I thought I could stay straight for
And it's such a bad thing to be loose and hard and free
So I understand why you have to leave
But I'd do anything to find the better part of me for you

And if I could change my ways, I would
And if I could make you stay, I would
I would, I would

If I could change my ways, I would
And if I could make you stay, I would
I would

And I could change my ways, I would
And if I could make you stay, I would (2x)
I would

I'm disappointed in myself again
You know
It's always something that I just had to let go
But you were the one thing
I wanted to do right
In this world
