Just one more

Old habits are hard to break

nothing's gonna break this time
things won't be the same
everything will be just fine
if i can get you to stay

and all the problems we used to have
would be gone for good
i'm telling you i've changed my ways
i wish you understood

-

she said what would make me think
that things would be different away
when we're still the same people
just now we have some space

you may have learned some sweetness
in the time that i've been gone
and as soon as i'm back in your life
you'll make yourself at home

--

it's just one more apology
just one more thing wrong
just another time with me
that you conviently forgot

just one more thing you said when drunk
that i should just ignore
just one more time i open up
for you to slam the door

--

if you would let me stop you there
you've got everything all wrong
last time it was different
and i'm sorry for what i've done

i had pressure from my family
and a real hard time at work
i'm sorry i mistreated you
and acted like a jerk

-

she said forgiveness isn't easy
but i can see that you're sincere
i hate giving in so easily
but i really need you here

maybe things were my fault too
i did so much to make you mad
we can try to start over
and leave the past in the past

--

things went better for a day or two
but it didn't take real long
for it to get too comfortable
now it's just the same old song

--

cause it's just one more apology
just one more thing wrong
just another time with me
that you conviently forgot

just one more thing you said when drunk
that i should just ignore
just one more time i open up
for you to slam the door

just one more time i needed you
when you were never there
one more time trusted you
but you didn't seem to care

wish i could give up the pain of having you
for the pain of moving on
but we both know i'll come running back
before you're really gone
