Only Human

i have been a fool
i have done some foolish things
i did let negative thinking
get the best of me

i said some things
that now i really regret
i didn't give myself a chance to think
careless words are hard to forgive and forget

i shouldn't have been so mean
that's the mistake i usually make
i shouldn't have gotten angry and screamed
why did i have to think thoughts so toxic?

why did i have to be so foolish
and say those foolish words
why did you have to be so foolish
and do things like a regular jerk?
