Sabotage
JoJo Lyrics

Choices, everybody make 'em and the
We all have choices to make in life and we must acknowledge that.

Truth is, something I've been thinking 'bout
I've been contemplating the truth of my situation.

Respect, you say I don't give you
I acknowledge that you have said I don't give you respect.

Maybe I don't know how
Perhaps I don't know how to give you respect.

Excuses, ooh, I got a lot of them
I have many excuses for my behavior.

Reasons, why I am the way I am
There are reasons why I behave as I do.

Regret, you say I don't feel it
You claim that I don't feel regret.

Maybe I don't know how
Perhaps I don't know how to express my regret.

Man, it got so ugly (ugly)
The situation between us became very unpleasant.

I was begging you to stay when you left our house
I pleaded with you to stay when you left our home.

Said you never loved me (loved me)
You declared that you never loved me.

Had me ducking all the venom flying out your mouth
Your words were hurtful and I had to avoid them.

Ooh, closed your heart and you locked me out
You shut me out and wouldn't let me in.

Took a beautiful love and I turned it out
I ruined a wonderful love we once had.

Every time I hear them talking 'bout you
Whenever I hear others mention you.

I wonder, did I play myself
I question if I was the cause of my own problems.

And sabotage love?
Did I ruin our love on purpose?

Mirrors, tryin' not to break 'em all
I'm struggling to avoid breaking mirrors.

Bad luck, seems like they're always falling
It feels like bad luck is always happening to me.

Feelings, now I've gotta bury 'em
I must hide my feelings now.

Memories of us in picture frames
I have memories of us in photographs.

Set a fire to 'em just to feed the pain
I set them on fire to add to the emotional pain.

Yeah, I'm often at it admittedly got a habit
I must admit that I often do this.

Of getting in my own way
I tend to be my own worst enemy.

While I'm wishing that I could have it
I'm always wanting more, even when I have what I want.

The picket fences and pictures of family
I dream of a perfect family life.

And foreign fabrics, I know
I desire luxuries like foreign fabrics.

It'd be in front of me if I could only grasp it
If only I could understand and accept what's in front of me.

I want it, and so did you, 100
I wanted it and so did you, without a doubt.

Was overdue, was runnin'
It was long overdue and we were avoiding it.

You got the clue took warnings as feelings too
You understood what I was saying and took it personally.

I wanna get over you, but I can only blame myself
I want to move on from you, but I blame myself for the situation.

Think it's time to put these feelings on the shelf
I think it's time to ignore my emotions for a while.

For my health, yeah
It's necessary for my wellbeing.

I'm not the best at containin' all my discretions
I don't always keep my actions in check.

I'm not a saint, but damn it if I don't come with confessions
I'm not perfect, but at least I'm honest about my mistakes.

It's easy to block our blessings, mistakes are for learning lessons
We often prevent ourselves from succeeding by making mistakes and not learning from them.

I used this shit as a letter, apologies to my exes, yeah
I'm using this song as a way to apologize to my past partners.

Apologies to my exes
I'm sorry to my past partners.

Sabotage
I realize that I sabotaged my relationships.
