So you wanted happiness, oh-oh Well, I'm not one to second guess I oughta get myself in check, oh-oh Before I'm left alone again As I caught my own reflection We were just making conversation to pass the time I never doubted my dependence But now it's retrospective, let's draw the line I'm a troubled son I come undone Then I cut and run I'm a troubled son Maybe there's a time or place, oh-oh For me to set the record straight Maybe I could save some face, oh-oh I need to feel safe In this darkness I remain I'm still standing in the rain Do you hear my call? As it echoes through my veins And a lifetime of mistakes Just see my fall I'm a troubled son I come undone Then I cut and run I'm a troubled son I'm sick and I'm tired of second guessin' Maybe in time, I'll learn my lesson And I've said some things, I've made a mess And I'm facing my sins, this life is precious I'm sick and I'm tired of second guessin' Maybe in time, I'll learn my lesson I've said some things, I've made a mess And I'm facing my sins tonight I'm a troubled son I come undone Then I cut and run I'm a troubled son I'm a troubled son I come undone Then I cut and run I'm a troubled son I'm a troubled son (I'm sick, and I'm tired of second guessin') I'm a troubled son (maybe in time, I'll learn my lesson) I'm a troubled son (I've said some things, I made a mess) I'm a troubled son (and I'm facing my sins tonight) I'm a troubled son
