lyrics

Verse 1

It happened on the way to the bathroom
The look in your eyes when I passed you…
You were just a tiny thing back then, now you’ve got your mother’s skin
A penny for your thoughts and a whisper
Tell me ‘bout the first time you kissed her
Did she kiss you back with your eyes closed? All the while letting me go…

Chorus 1

I wasn’t really that bad was I? Was I?
I wasn’t really that bad was I? Was I?
Was I really that bad? Was I? Was I?

Verse 2

So tell her ‘bout the first time I hurt you
And how you found a place inside yourself to hide from all that hell
Another story for a long night…
Now I’m just some wreckage in a dead sea
I’m buried by the waves as they break me
Just scatter my body on the ocean floor
Echoing a siren song across a dead shore…

Chorus 2

I wasn’t really that bad was I? Was I?
I wasn’t really that bad was I? Was I?
Wasn’t really that bad was I? Was I?
I don’t know, but I guess so, coz everything that starts has got to stop sometime

Chorus 3

I wasn’t really that bad was I? Was I?
I wasn’t really that bad was I? Was I?
Was I really that bad? Was I? Was I?
I don’t know, but I guess so, coz everything that starts has got to stop sometime
