you're an expert at sorry and keeping the lines blurry

And I'm dying to know, is it killing you like it's killing me? And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now.

As much as I would really like to have saved myself heartache, embarrassment or gossip, I also know that my biggest mistakes have turned into my best lessons. And sometimes my greatest career triumphs. If my life had been turbulence-free, maybe my music would be beige, maybe the stadiums wouldn’t be full and the mantle would be a little more empty.

I took a chance, I took a shot And you may think I’m bullet-proof, but I’m not. You took a swing, I took it hard. And down here from the ground I see who you are

It can be heartbreaking when you find out that your fairytale image of the world doesn't match the reality.
