Lyrics: [Intro, Clean octave guitar, Amp hum] Okay No bullshit this time [Verse 1, Palm-muted guitars] I like the idea of actually being honest I'ma tell the truth to you this time, I promise I burned too many bridges just to prove I could Then wondered why nobody understood I wanna go back home It's getting old, I know I cancel every plan, then hate being alone I'm difficult Yeah, you already know I'm difficult Still asking you not to go [Pre-Chorus, Building drums] I never apologize Fuck that You were wrong and I was right At least that's what I told myself About a hundred times last night [Chorus, Explosive guitars, Gang vocals] Are you still mine Or am I just your ex? What's on your mind And who's been in your head? Sweet Caroline I'm hanging by a thread You know I try But I'm difficult I'm difficult I'm difficult I like the idea of actually being honest I'ma tell the truth to you this time, I promise [Post-Chorus, Octave guitar hook] This time I promise This time I promise Yeah This time I promise [Verse 2, Driving bass, Crunchy guitars] I like the idea of actually being honest I'ma tell the truth to you this time, I promise There's an old burn mark still hiding in the carpet And every dumb mistake somehow became nostalgic I wanna go back home It's getting old, I know I spend too much time inside with nowhere else to go I asked the ceiling questions at a quarter after five Like maybe silence had an answer for me hiding inside I'm difficult I'm difficult Yeah, I make everything harder than it is [Pre-Chorus, Rising guitars] I never apologize Fuck that You were wrong and I was right Then morning comes and suddenly I'm not so sure about last night [Chorus, Explosive guitars, Gang vocals] Are you still mine Or am I just your ex? What's on your mind And who's been in your head? Sweet Caroline I'm hanging by a thread You know I try But I'm difficult I'm difficult I'm difficult I like the idea of actually being honest I'ma tell the truth to you this time, I promise [Bridge, Half-time drums, Clean guitar] Here's the truth I hate admitting when I'm scared I turn a two-minute conversation Into proof nobody cares Here's the truth I still check my phone too much And every time your name isn't there I pretend I don't give a fuck [Break, Bare guitar, Cracked vocal] I wanna go back home It's getting old, I know I wanna go back home But I don't know where home is anymore [Final Chorus, Full band, Huge gang vocals] Are you still mine Or am I just your ex? What's on your mind And who's been in your head? Sweet Caroline I'm hanging by a thread You know I try But I'm difficult I'm difficult I'm difficult I like the idea of actually being honest I'ma tell the truth to you this time, I promise I like the idea of actually being honest I'ma tell the truth to you this time, I promise [Extended Hook, Double-time drums] This time I promise This time I promise No bullshit No hiding This time I promise This time I promise I'm difficult But I'm trying [Outro, Clean octave guitar, Room noise] I like the idea of actually being honest I'ma tell the truth to you this time, I promise Yeah This time I promise [End]
