Sangtekst: Gym Class Heroes. The Quilt. Coming Clean.


Listen, babe, I think it's time for me to come clean
I mean, I haven't been the most faithful
and I don't know how else to say this, plain and simple
I've been cheating, believe me
This isn't easy, especially since you been so good to me
The hardest thing I ever done is telling you "you not the only one," just understand this
you made a man out of ignorance. and,
like a boy, i toyed with innocence
this double life's not worth livin'
I'm givin' more to her and I apologize.

and it's all part of the game
it's just the same old thing with a different name
and we can try to drown the pain
but we both swim too well to submerge ourselves.
and I'm tired of the shame
bout bein' a fool to cool to maintain two dames
and all I need is time
please forgive me, darlin', the blames all mine

When I come home to you with open arms you insist on pressin' on my overcoat
the alcohol and stale cigarette smoke.
I know you been skeptical
I play it off like your delusional
the fact is that I'm losin' you
and I'm scared
she doesn't want me the way i need her to,
No, she doesn't want me the way I need her to. I'm pleadin' to the judge on my knees
God, please make these charges go away

and it's all part of the game
it's just the same old thing with a different name
and we can try to drown the pain
but we both swim too well to submerge ourselves.
and I'm tired of the shame
bout bein' a fool to cool to maintain two dames
and all I need is time
please forgive me, darlin', the blames all mine

Girl, I promise i'll do my best to impress the jury
cause when the smoke settles,
and one of us falls to the dirt
it was worth all of the hurt
and if not, let's cut our losses
cause you crossed the line, thinkin' I'd choose you over music?
that's just stupid.
this whole situations bogus
'specially since I'm so focused
from beginnin' to the end
are we enemies or friends?
unfortunately this is hopeless.
Did my best to juggle both of you
Struggled, but I'm still here holdin' you
Time to man up, stand up, put your hands up
if you understand what i'm goin' through

and it's all part of the game
it's just the same old thing with a different name
and we can try to drown the pain
but we both swim too well to submerge ourselves.
and I'm tired of the shame
bout bein' a fool to cool to maintain two dames
and all I need is time
please forgive me, darlin', the blames all mine
