Race to the Bottom
Maybe I'm not the man I thought I'd be
It seemed so easy
It's getting harder to believe in me
Lost all my youthful naivety
I'm sorry if I don't seem right
But I'm not sorry for apologizing
And when I try to fight the fight
I always end up compromising
I say I want to treat you right
But actions are what will define me
And so I wake up every night
Just making sure that you are still beside me
Could have been better
Could have tried harder
Could have gone further
If I was a little smarter
Could have been better
Could have tried harder
Could have gone further
If I was a little smarter
Regrets
Oh, I've got 'em
I'm just another horse
In this race to the bottom
I'm sorry if I don't seem right
But I'm not sorry for apologizing
And when I try to fight the fight
I always end up compromising
I say I want to treat you right
But actions are what will define me
And so I wake up every night
Just making sure that you are still beside me
I'm sorry if I don't seem right
But I'm not sorry for apologizing
And when I try to fight the fight
I always end up compromising
I say I want to treat you right
But actions are what will define me
And so I wake up every night
Just making sure that you are still beside me
Could have been better
Could have tried harder
Could have gone further
If I was a little smarter
It seemed so easy
It's getting harder to believe in me
Lost all my youthful naivety
I'm sorry if I don't seem right
But I'm not sorry for apologizing
And when I try to fight the fight
I always end up compromising
I say I want to treat you right
But actions are what will define me
And so I wake up every night
Just making sure that you are still beside me
Could have been better
Could have tried harder
Could have gone further
If I was a little smarter
Could have been better
Could have tried harder
Could have gone further
If I was a little smarter
Regrets
Oh, I've got 'em
I'm just another horse
In this race to the bottom
I'm sorry if I don't seem right
But I'm not sorry for apologizing
And when I try to fight the fight
I always end up compromising
I say I want to treat you right
But actions are what will define me
And so I wake up every night
Just making sure that you are still beside me
I'm sorry if I don't seem right
But I'm not sorry for apologizing
And when I try to fight the fight
I always end up compromising
I say I want to treat you right
But actions are what will define me
And so I wake up every night
Just making sure that you are still beside me
Could have been better
Could have tried harder
Could have gone further
If I was a little smarter
