Verse 1, 2, and 3
I might be wrong but I might be right, Anyhow I know I tried
I better leave, I better leave, I better stop
I like her taste when it fills my soul, I'll tell you something I've never told anyone,
anyone, not anyone
Everyone's got a bleeding heart, I don't know where or when to start
I better bleed, I better bleed, I better stop
I better bleed, I better bleed, I better stop
(Starts at 0:20)

Ending of the Chorus 1 and Verse 4, 5
Life is good, It's what I see that
Makes me want to disagree
