Coming Clean Lyrics - The Quilt - Gym Class Heroes

Listen, babe, I think it's time for me to come clean 

I mean I haven't been the most faithful 

And I don't know how else to say this plain and simple 

I been cheatin', believe me 

This isn't easy especially since you've been so good to me 

The hardest thing I've ever done is tellin' you 

You're not the only one, just understand this 

You made a man outta ignorance 

And like a boy I toyed with innocence 

This double lives not worth livin' 

Not givin' more to her and I apologize 

And it's all part of the game 

It's just the same old thing with a different name 

And we can try and drown the pain 

But we both swim too well, to submerge ourselves 

And I'm tired of the shame 

Of bein' the fool, too cool to maintain two dames 

And all I need is time 

Please forgive me, darling, the blame's 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 you've been skeptical, I play it off like you're delusional 

The fact is that I'm losin' you 

And I'm scared, she doesn't want me 

The way I need her to know, she doesn't want me 

The way I need her to 

I'm pleading with the judge on my knees 

God, please just make these charges go away 

And it's all part of the game 

It's just the same old thing with a different name 

And we can try and drown the pain 

But we both swim too well, to submerge ourselves 

And I'm tired of the shame 

Of bein' the fool, too cool to maintain two dames 

And all I need is time 

Please forgive me, darling, the blame's all mine 

Girl, I promise I'll 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 let's cut our losses 

'Cause you crossed the line, thinkin' I'd choose you over music 

That's just stupid, this whole situations bogus 

Especially since I'm so focused 

From the beginning to the end 

And we in with these friends 

Unfortunately this is hopeless 

Did my best to juggle both of you 

Struggled but I'm still here holdin' you 

Tie the man up, stand up, put your hands up 

If you understand what I'm goin' through 

And it's all part of the game 

It's just the same old thing with a different name 

And we can try and drown the pain 

But we both swim too well, to submerge ourselves 

And I'm tired of the shame 

Of bein' the fool, too cool to maintain two dames 

And all I need is time 

Please forgive me, darling, the blame's all mine
