I gave up the love of a good girl

I'm sorry for the things I said
you know I'm not the safest bet
I seemed to tell you almost all the time

but you dealt with all my drinking and
all of my pill taking
attempts to ease the worry in my mind

I gave up the love of a good girl

I'm sorry now that I fucked up
guilty for the girls I fucked
I should have been a more faithful man

so tonight I will be drinking and
starting up my pill taking
attempt to ease this trouble in my mind

so I hear you're talking to new guys
I hope you pick apart their lies
men will only take from you their needs
they'll little their floor with your pants
mislead you into having sex
they will take advantage of your love

I've also been this bastard kind
been called a whore and left behind
I laugh away how much this reeks of me

now I've found a girl who says she loves me
but who am I to think that she will love me past my skin
and see that I am just another man with pain
and be fine with helping ease my mind
to kiss my head and leave behind
memories that will always make me smile

but I gave up the love of a good girl
I gave up the love, but found a new girl
