I don't like the person that I am when I hurt you
Cause in those moments I desert you
And I realize I don't deserve you, no I don't deserve you but 
I'm praying on my knees begging that you won't leave me
But you can do so much better please believe me
So I won't blame you if you leave me, leave me cause I 
I made a promise on the day we said vows 
I swore to love you and to never let you down
I told your father I'd protect you from the pain
I told your mother I would shelter you from rain 
You were the only one that I have ever dreamed of
My perfect truth that I've hidden with every lie
If only I was less concerned about our future 
I might have noticed you needed me by your side 
And after all of those days, you kept it inside 
Don't know how I missed every tear that you cried
I love you enough to let you be free 
So I can't blame you baby, it started with me 
Cause I loved you, but left you in moments of need
We broke like a promise to heavy to keep 
And baby, it kills me lately 
Cause maybe I'm the reason why 
I don't like the person that I am when I hurt you
Cause in those moments I desert you 
And I realize I don't deserve you, no I don't deserve you but 
I'm praying on my knees begging that you won't leave me
But you can do so much better please believe me
So I won't blame you if you leave me, leave me cause I 
I'm so sorry for the way things went down 
You deserve a king and I'm not wearing no crown 
There's tears welling up in your eyes 
And I'd be lying through my teeth if I told you I was surprised
 
What did I think?
Would happen after all of this time
It's like you blink and seven years just passes you by
I wish that I could run it back and right my wrongs 
Maybe you wouldn't be gone if I wasn't chasing these songs 
And I spent my energy trying to actually be a better man 
Lost my centerpiece, and I don't think you understand
What you meant to me, our love was deeper than ration
But never loved you enough to set you free from my passion, I 
I don't like the person that I am when I hurt you
Cause in those moments I desert you 
And I realize I don't deserve you, no I don't deserve you but 
I'm praying on my knees begging that you won't leave me
But you can do so much better please believe me
So I won't blame you if you leave me, leave me cause I 
But maybe we had to break to grow
Maybe I had to lose to learn
But when I hear your name I feel the pain
In my heart still burns
Maybe this is my sacrifice
Maybe I'll love you my whole life
But I'll lay down my pride
And hope you find me on the other side 
I don't like the person that I am when I hurt you
Cause in those moments I desert you 
And I realize I don't deserve you, no I don't deserve you but 
I'm praying on my knees begging that you won't leave me
But you can do so much better please believe me
So I won't blame you if you leave me, leave me cause I...
