Verse i

I owe you, but I can't believe it's took me this long to say it

 'cause I have been hiding the truth

Didn’t think I'd let you in on this shit

But you know I wouldn’t be here

 If it wasn’t for you, you see I've tried this on my own

I owe you, imagine if I never got to see you again

Chorus

I’m gonna bite my tongue next time that you’re speaking

 'cause you deserve the time of day

I abused your kindness with my weakness, and threw it in your face

Way to go, way to go, what a joke, I’m a joke

 If only you could see how I feel

You'd bite your tongue next time that I’m screaming

 See, I ain't angry with you

There's no escaping what I've done

I hope you hear these words

 Lord, strike me down if any one of them's untrue

 You are the reason I am what I've become, I owe you

 Even though you don't want nothing, I owe you one

Verse ii

Hand on heart, I don't think there's any other way to say this

But I admit being a prick didn't do me any favors

 I mean I've been called, every name under the sun's in my eyes

 But it feels pitch black inside

 I swear I put you through so much, now I couldn't lie to you if I tried

I admit acting a fool didn’t do me any favors

 Imagine if I never got to see you again

Chorus

Verse iii

Hoh-oh-oh, oh ohhh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

 Just bleed with me, let me speak to me

 I’m so sorry if I’ve drained you out

That's why I love you

And I hope you're glad you made me finally say it

 I'm nothing without you

Just tell me, imma see you again

I’m gonna bite my tongue next time that you’re speaking

 'cause you deserve the time of day

I abused your kindness with my weakness, and threw it in your face

Way to go, way to go, what a joke, I’m a joke

 If only you could see how I feel

You'd bite your tongue next time that I’m screaming

 See, I ain't angry with you

There's no escaping what I've done

I hope you hear these words

 Lord, strike me down if any one of them's untrue

 You are the reason I am what I've become, I owe you

 Even though you owe me nothing, I owe you one

I owe you, but you owe me nothing, 'cause I owe you one
