I will sacrifice; I promise I'll behave
I'll keep my head high; I'll keep my foot out of the grave
I'm lucky I found you; you know you always speak the truth
'Cause in my past life, baby, I got screwed

[Chorus]
And I'm straight out of line
When it comes to you
Yeah, I'm straight out of line
I keep trying to break through

I'm not a bad man, I'm just a glutton for abuse
In my dirty hands: a diamond clean and shackles loose
Let's take some more time; you know I wanna make it through
Was it the first time? I'm just another bad excuse

[Chorus]

And I'm straight out of line
When it comes to you
Yeah, I'm straight out of line
I keep trying, trying to break through

I will sacrifice; I promise I'll behave
I'll keep my head high; I'll keep my foot out of the grave

[Chorus x 2]

In my dirty hands: a diamond clean and shackles loose
Yeah, I'm straight out of line
I keep trying, trying, trying to break through, yeah
