[Verse 1]
Wasn't always honest with you 'cause I love the tension
I know you like to think you see through all my deception
I'll tell you sorry make you think I mean it
I'll tell you sorry just to keep the peace
But I didn't mean to make you see red not my intention

[Chorus]
If you catch me off guard, you know I'm gonna say
Something so hard you open up the gates
And show me your heart
I know how to break
I know how to break, yeah
I know how to break
You catch me off guard, I'll call you a mistake
And open your scars they'll never go away
Show me your heart
I know how to break
But I don't want to
It's just what I do

[Post-Chorus]
When you catch me off guard
It's just what I do
When you catch me off guard

[Verse 2]
Didn't mean to make you see red not my intention
You're the light on my life, you're my perfection
I'll tell you sorry, make you think I mean it
I'll tell you sorry just to keep the peace
But I didn't mean to say what I said, got lost in passion

[Chorus]
If you catch me off guard, you know I'm gonna say
Something so hard you open up the gates
And show me your heart
I know how to break
I know how to break, yeah
I know how to break
You catch me off guard, I'll call you a mistake
And open your scars they'll never go away
Show me your heart
I know how to break
But I don't want to
It's just what I do

[Post-Chorus]
When you catch me off guard
It's just what I do
When you catch me off guard

[Verse 3]
When you say everything you wanna say
And then wish you could take back all the words you threw away
It's like I'm watching myself fuck it up a mile away
Like I usually do (Do, do, do, do)
When you hear the voice inside your head
And whisper don't you go and say what you already said
You should put them in a box and hide the key instead
Like you're doing right now

[Chorus]
If you catch me off guard, you know I'm gonna say
Something so hard you open up the gates
And show me your heart
I know how to break
I know how to break, yeah
I know how to break
You catch me off guard, I'll call you a mistake
And open your scars they'll never go away
Show me your heart
I know how to break
But I don't want to
It's just what I do

[Post-Chorus]
When you catch me off guard
When you catch me off guard
