Innocent
Ryan Ashley feat. Kate Stewart Lyrics

Seems like somehow everywhere I go
No matter where I go, it always ends up being chaotic and unstable.

Only chaos follows
There is always disorder and confusion that comes with any relationship I'm in.

Can't get too far deep on just false hope
I can't rely on temporary feelings of happiness and excitement to build a solid relationship that lasts.

Of a relationship is sinking
When things start to go wrong in a relationship, it's hard to keep it afloat and make it work.

Never stay afloat
I always struggle to keep the relationship from sinking and eventually it goes down with me in it.

It happens everywhere I go
This pattern of instability and chaos seems to follow me wherever I go.

So there is something you should know
Before we start anything serious, I want to be transparent and upfront with you about my past and history.

Sometimes, I can get all up in my mind
I tend to overthink and get lost in my own thoughts, which can prevent me from seeing things clearly in the present.

Can't see what's in front of me so I run blind
When my thoughts consume me, I can't see the reality of what's happening and I make decisions without fully understanding the consequences.

I've got my demons
I have personal issues that affect my ability to connect and commit in relationships.

I'm not so innocent now
I have made mistakes in the past and have hurt people, so I can't claim to be completely blameless.

Before we get intimate
Before we take the relationship further, I want to make sure we're on the same page about my past behavior and commitment issues.

You should know I'm not so innocent
I don't want to mislead you or give you false expectations about what kind of person I am in a relationship.

It's part of my history
My previous experiences and mistakes have shaped who I am today and how I behave in relationships.

That I got trouble with commitment
I struggle to fully commit to a relationship and have been known to be flaky or unreliable.

I'ma be honest from the start
I want to avoid deceit and be truthful with you from the beginning of our relationship.

That I've been known to break a heart
I have hurt people emotionally in the past, and it's something I'm not proud of.

So before we get intimate
I want to make sure there are no surprises or misunderstandings down the line.

I am warning you
I want to make sure you are aware of the potential issues and risks that come with being in a relationship with me.

I only mean bad news
I don't want to deceive you with false promises or fake intentions, so I need to be honest about my flaws.

I won't lie to you
I refuse to misrepresent myself or mislead you with false information.

No I'm not who you think I am
I may have seemed like one thing, but I'm revealing my true self to you now.

See for you I'd be better
I understand that you deserve someone who can fully commit and meet your needs, and I may not be that person.

But I still think it's better
Despite my flaws, I believe it's still better for us to be honest and upfront with each other.

Better that you understand
It's important for both of us to fully understand what we're getting into before continuing the relationship.
