D                A
Left to my own devices
        G
I know I’ll mess this up

    And I want more for both us
D            A
I’m set in my old ways
Bm        A            G
But I’m breaking them today

Do you have the patience to wait
         A
Til I’m okay

I don’t want to say goodbye

It’ll never be right

And I won’t forgive myself

We fell in love so fast

If I repeat my past
