Keep Me Around Songtext
von Taylor Leonhardt

When I say the wrong thing
When I go too far
When I make a bad joke
And then it breaks your heart
When I can′t help showing off
And playing to the crowd
I hope you'll still keep me around

When I get defensive
When my ego′s bruised
When I start throwing punches
And the punches land on you
When I'm trying to save face
To find I'm only losing ground
I hope you′ll still keep me around


For the love that I am lacking
For the good I leave undone
I confess I have not been the friend
I′m desperate to become
Somehow, you let me in
No matter how I let you down
And I hope you'll still keep me around

When I′m overwhelmed
And I won't ask for help
When I look in the mirror
And I don′t recognize myself
When I miss out on the fun
Cause I'm too busy being proud
I hope you′ll still keep me around

For the lessons I'm still learning
In the hard-earned fields of truth
For when I say I'm sorry
Just to add some sad excuse
Forgive me
Forgive me
Let′s leave it there for now
I′m sorry
I'm sorry


When I take you for granted
As I′m prone to do
When I forget how good it is
To be at home with you
You know just how to remind me
When I can't quite figure out
How much you still want me around
Sometimes I can′t believe
You still keep me around
