 I know how to hold  a grudge
 I can send a bridge up  in smoke
 And I can't count  the people I've let  down, the  hearts I've broke
 You ain't gotta dig  too deep
 If you wanna find some dirt  on me
 I'm learning  who you've been  ain't who you've  got to be
 It's gonna be an uphill  climb
 Aww honey I  won't lie
 I ain't no angel
 I still  got a still few more dances  with the devil
 I'm cleanin  up my act
 
 Little by little, I'm getting there, I can finally stand the man in the mirror I see
 I ain't as good  as I'm gonna  get
 But I'm better  than I used to be
 I've pinned a lot of demons to the ground
 I've got a few old habits left
 There's one or two I might need you to help me get
 Standin in the rain so long
 Has left me with a little rust
 But put some faith in me and someday you'll see
 There's a diamond under all this dust
