Lyrics

Old Habits

The first time was the hardest.
I wondered how I?d live.
But the mind can be selective.
And the heart too easy forgives.

The second time was needed.
At least I thought so at the time.
But the bad taste that lingered.
Beg the questions I cannot find.

Chorus
Why do old habits have to be so strong?
It should be as simple as right from wrong.

The third wasn?t painful.
I only wish that I knew why.
I was relieved when it was over.
But the timing was not mine.

Chorus
Why do old habits have to be so strong?
It should be as simple as right from wrong.
But I can?t break free from the error of my ways.
God help me, I need to see some better days.

Sometimes I can?t believe it?s me.
And the truth I fail to see.
I know the answer lives in me.
And only I can set it free.

The last time was different.
I knew exactly how it?d end.
It did and I felt nothing.
I didn?t bother to pretend.

Repeat Long Chorus
