[Verse 1]
If I said I'm sorry, would you even understand?
Thoughts of my past self speak to the person that I am
I've been losing sleep, I toss and turn
But there's so much I haven't learned
As I grow old, I'm more concerned
These words will reach you as I start to fade away
Maybe I should explain

[Chorus]
I, I create my distance
Why I don't ever listen
You kept me safe and sound
And still, I always let you down
I, I'm so self-destructive
Why am I so reluctant?
To let these habits end
Close this book and start again

[Post-Chorus]
Never again, never again, never again
Never again, never again, never again
Oh, no

[Verse 2]
If I said I'm sorry, would you give me a fair chance?
Let me catch my breath, I swear I'll help you understand
I wasn't myself, I was someone else
Losing you was not good for my health
I've been in a panic, this is hell
Maybe I should give up, wish you well
I'm sorry, I'll start over again
[Chorus]
I, I create my distance
Why I don't ever listen
You kept me safe and sound
And still, I always let you down
I, I'm so self-destructive
Why am I so reluctant?
To let these habits end
Close this book and start again

[Post-Chorus]
Never again, never again, never again
Never again, never again, never again

[Bridge]
I'm trying so hard to be
Someone that you could love easily

[Chorus]
I, I create my distance
Why I don't ever listen
You kept me safe and sound
Still, I always let you down
I, I create my distance
Why I don't ever listen
You kept me safe and sound
And still, I always let you down
I, I'm so self-destructive
Why am I so reluctant?
To let these habits end
Close this book and start again
[Post-Chorus]
Never again, never again, never again
Still, I always let you down
Never again, never again, never again
Oh, no
Never again, never again, never again
Still, I always let you down
Never again, never again, never again
Oh, no
