I should have looked down
I should have looked back
I should have checked my rear view mirror

It's not that I don't, maybe I just rely that
You won't hit me on my blind side


I had been blinded by too much need
Old voices bad choices to appease
I'm not who I was, that's done and that's that

And no other man's going to do me like that

But I'm talkin' time, and I'm checkin' mine

I know it goes both ways
But I'm well aware of a chip that's sittin' here
On my shoulder


I believe in reason I believe in vision
I still have nightmare sin the dark

I still have a few tender places
Somewhere in the center of my heart


But I'm talkin' time, and I'm checkin' mine
I know it goes both ways
But I'm well aware of a chip that's sittin' here

On my shoulder

So I love you like I love no other

I'm sorry when you pay for the crimes of another
I'm sorry I hurt you, you're sorry I cried
I'm sorry when I don't trust you 'cause someone else lied


But I'm takin' time, and I'm checkin' mine
And I won't let the past

Keep me down at all set me up to fall
It's on my shoulders
