lyrics
if I wasn’t slow
if I wasn’t late
if I wasn’t so damn sure I am everything I hate
if I wasn’t poor
if I wasn’t weak
if I wasn’t so self-conscious you can’t hear me speak
if I wasn’t tired
if I wasn’t scared
if I wasn’t so damn drunk that I can’t leave my chair
you would see me stand up
if I think about it now and I get too overwhelmed
couldn’t bear the weight of my shame crushing down
want to be strong for you, to be more than I am
no more excuses, I can’t lose what I’ve found
if I wasn’t dumb
if I wasn’t deaf
if I wasn’t so damn blind to the life that I have left
if I wasn’t old
if I wasn’t lame
if I wasn’t so damn bad at taking any blame
love makes fools, love makes saints
which one am I
some say we choose, some say it’s fate
which one is right
if I wasn’t late
if I wasn’t so damn sure I am everything I hate
if I wasn’t poor
if I wasn’t weak
if I wasn’t so self-conscious you can’t hear me speak
if I wasn’t tired
if I wasn’t scared
if I wasn’t so damn drunk that I can’t leave my chair
you would see me stand up
if I think about it now and I get too overwhelmed
couldn’t bear the weight of my shame crushing down
want to be strong for you, to be more than I am
no more excuses, I can’t lose what I’ve found
if I wasn’t dumb
if I wasn’t deaf
if I wasn’t so damn blind to the life that I have left
if I wasn’t old
if I wasn’t lame
if I wasn’t so damn bad at taking any blame
love makes fools, love makes saints
which one am I
some say we choose, some say it’s fate
which one is right
