His Mistakes

Do I remind you
Of the pain
That he put you
Through, girl
Is that the reason
I'm to blame
Before I do it
Is it because he
Treated you badly
I always stand accused
Protecting yourself
From somebody else
I'm not
Who's hurting you girl

And it's
Killing me girl
Knowing you
Compare me to him
Always guilty
Before the sin
I can't win
I can't win no

I'll do anything
To prove I love you
Baby girl
But I refuse to
Pay for something
I didn't do
I love you, girl
But I refuse to stay
Paying for his mistakes

He left a scar
Across your heart
I understand, girl
Don't let his wrongs
Tear us apart
no, girl
I'm your man

Just because he did
You swear
I'm cheating
You think
I just don't care
Why must I do time
For another man's crime
Girl you know
That ain't fair

And it's
Killing me girl
Knowing you
Compare me to him
Always guilty
Before the sin
I can't win
No I can't win

I'll do anything
To prove I love you
Baby girl
But I refuse to
Pay for something
I didn't do
I love you, girl
But I refuse to stay
Paying
For his mistakes

I know
He did you wrong
But tell me what does that
Have to do with me
Trying to show you
Something real
Figure out
What is going on
Before you look up
And I'll be gone

I'll do anything
To prove I love you
Baby girl
But I refuse
To pay for something
I didn't do, girl
I love you
And I love you
I love you
I'll do anything
To prove I love you
Baby girl but I refuse
To pay for something
I didn't do, no
I love you, girl
But I refuse to stay
Paying
For his mistakes
