LYRICS

Ah-ooh (Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
It was a Tuesday
I woke up early
There was tension in the air, didn't see it coming
Go 'head and ask it
So I can admit it
I have an honesty in me, and I won't be runnin'

I'm guilty but I'm not ashamed
(Ah, yeah, yeah)
For needin' one of us to take the blame (Ah, yeah, yeah)
I know we both deserve the change
(Ah, yeah, yeah)
And there's nothing I could say to еase the pain (Ah, yeah, yеah)

I'm not sayin' it's better
(Ooh)
But different is better for me
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
That's why I had to leave
'Cause baby, that's best for me
(Ooh, ooh)
I'm not sayin' I never
(Ooh)
Loved you with all of me
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
But I will love differently
And baby, that's best for me
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Ah-ooh (Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

All the communions conjure the memories
It's bittersweet, just like a goodbye

I'm guilty but I'm not ashamed (Oh, no)
For needin' one of us to take the blame (Don't take the blame)
I know we both deserve the change (I love the change)
And there's nothing I could say to ease the pain

Oh
