Because without you around
How many times can I say I'm sorry?
I don't mean to bring you down
How many times did I say the wrong thing?
I don't mean to put you down
How many times did I say the wrong thing?

I look at you, I bring you down
I remember when your smile was so natural
Slipping into these words
Because without you around
I ain't here to become a mess
I ain't here to bring you down
How many times can I say I'm sorry
I don't mean to bring you down
I don't mean to bring you down
How many times can you say the wrong
