Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know I could be sorry, but I don't feel bad for being who I am
I see you're disappointed I left school to start a punk rock band
Don't wanna follow your footsteps, that was never part of my plan
I'm giving you one, two, three chances to tell me you understand
[Chorus]
Why do I keep pissing off people I love?
It hurts like hell, for heaven's sake
Every time I mess things up
Another little piece of my heart breaks
The way it is is just the way it always was
I gotta find a way to stop pissing off people I love
[Verse 2]
I know I should be sorry, but I don't remember what I did last night
I don't know how I got home, but my ride's not parked outside
Think my girl is mad at me, I hope I didn't make her cry
She's given me one, two, three second chances
One, two
But I don't ever get it right
[Chorus]
Why do I keep pissing off people I love?
It hurts like hell, for heaven's sake
Every time I mess things up
Another little piece of my heart breaks
The way it is is just the way it always was
I gotta find a way to stop pissing off people I love
[PostChorus]
Whoa
Whoa
[Verse 3]
I know I missed your birthday and your graduation
You knew I wouldn't make it, but you still gave me the invitation
I sent you a card saying, "I love you, congratulations"
You've given me one, two, three
One, two, three
Million chances
[Chorus]
And I keep pissing off people I love
It hurts like hell, for heaven's sake
Every time I mess things up
Another little piece of my heart breaks
The way it is is just the way it always was
I make mistakes the same as everybody does
I gotta find a way to stop pissing off people I love
[PostChorus]
Whoa
Whoa
[Outro]
People I love
People I love
