  • I've got these habits that I cannot,
    I've got these habits that I can't,
    I've got these habits that I cannot, break.

    I found life out on the weekdays
    When we would drive to some new city
    Call me crazy I was born to make a mess
    Would you love me still if I were to confess
    That I had a little
    Too much fun
    Back when I was young

    I've got these habits that I cannot break
    And as I'm older there is more at stake
    Go ahead and call me fake but these are the sins
    The sins of my youth
    I break habits just to fall in love
    But I do it on designer drugs
    You can call me
    Dangerous
    But these are the sins
    The sins of my youth

    All these mainstream made emotions
    Made me the boy that they wanted me to be
    But
    When I took down my defenses
    For the first time there was something in me
    Yeah something in me
    Hot like a smoking gun
    Back when I was young

    I've got these habits that I cannot break
    And as I'm older there is more at stake
    Go ahead and call me fake but these are the sins
    The sins of my youth
    I break habits just to fall in love
    But I do it on designer drugs
    You can call me dangerous
    But these are the sins
    The sins of my youth

    Would you love me still
    Would
    You love me still
    Would you love me still
    Would you love
    I've got these habits
    That I cannot
    I've got these habits that I cannot
    I've got these habits that I cannot break Writer/s: BRANDEN CAMPBELL, CHRISTOPHER ALLEN, ELAINE DOTY, TYLER GLENN
