listen babe i think its time for me to come clean
i mean i haven't been the most faithful
and i dont know how else to say this plain and simple
i been cheatin belive me
this isnt easy especially since youve been so good to me
the hardest thing ive ever done is tellin you your not the only one
just understand this
you made a man outta ignorance and
like a boy i toyed with innocence
this double lifes not worth livin not givin more to her and i apologize
[chorus]
and its all part of the game
its just the same old thing with a different name
and we can try and drown the pain
but we both swim to submerge ourselves
and im tired of the shame
of bein the fool too cool
to mantain two dames
and all i need is time
please forgive me darling
the blames all mine
when i come home to you with open arms
insist on pressin on my overcoat
the alcohol and still cigarette smoke
i know youve been skeptical
i play it off like your dillusional
the fact is that im losin you
and im scared she doesnt want me
the way i need her to know
she doesnt want me
the way i need her to
im pleading with the judge on my knees
god please just make these charges go away
[chorus]
and its all part of the game
its just the same old thing with a different name
and we can try and drown the pain
but we both swim to submerge ourselves
and im tired of the shame
of bein the fool too cool
to mantain two dames
and all i need is time
please forgive me darling
the blames all mine
girl i promise ill 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 lets cut our losses
cause you crossed the line
thinkin id choose you over music
thats just stupid
this whole situations bogus
especially since im so focused
from the beggining to the end
and we in with these friends
unfortunatley this is hopeless
did my best to juggle both of you
struggled but im still here holdin you
tie the man up
stand up
put your hands up
if you understand what im goin through
