Growing up my father told me
Son you know that boys don't cry
Bottled up emotions

Always tried to keep that shit inside
Now I don't know how to feel 'em
College when I met you
Never seen someone so beautiful

Told me that you love me
But you need somebody vulnerable
But I don't know how

CHORUS
I'm sorry for the way that I am
Got problems that I don't understand
Every time you ask me
Babe, you alright?
Then I stop like a deer in the headlights
Thinking that you'll just get mad

I'm sorry for the way that I am
Got issues that I don't understand
So every time you ask me
Babe, you alright?
Then I stop like a deer in the headlights
And I'm scared to love you like that
So sorry for the way I am
The way I am
The way I am
So sorry for the way I am
Don't expect, you to stay
After all these things I do
Wish I could take your hand
Promise that I'll pull us through

But it's all undone
No I can't, take it back
All the things I said before
Moments come, watch them go

Wish I said I love you more
'Cause it's not enough
I'm sorry for the way that I am
Got problems that I don't understand

Every time you ask me
Babe, you alright?
Then I stop like a deer in the headlights
Thinking that you'll just get mad
I'm sorry for the way that I am

Got issues that I don't understand
So every time you ask me
Babe, you alright?
Then I stop like a deer in the headlights
And I'm scared to love you like that?
So sorry for the way I am
The way I am
The way I am
The way I am
So sorry for the way I am
