I was kind of hearing the music in my head, so I put the [x4] stuff in there cause it fit right, and sounded right. It's also an emphasized message of the song.

______________________________________

[verse 1]
Well I told you I'd go to your game,
I got you excited, 'cause you knew no one would be there.
I let you down, and blew you off for some movie,
But you just forgave me, and let me get off this time.
Told my girl I'd meet her for dinner
Forgot all about it, and went to jam out with some friends.
The amazing thing is she forgave, again.
Well shouldn't I be the one hated as of right now?

[chorus]
It seams like its going to take some time
To appear as a better person.
I lift everyone's hopes up,
Only to just let them down.
I'm trying to appear as I'm not,
And it's obvious to me now [x2]
I am mean.

[verse 2]
Tonight I'm supposed to drive my friend
Where his favorite band plays tonight, (and I don't make it)
I'm home, being sick, so I leave later than ten.
I get to his house, but he's not there, I'm late again.
Tomorrow I start my new day job
I arrive on time, but out of uniform like always.
I mouth off some customers, and boss gets complaints.
And there I am fired on the spot.
(Nothing new for me)

[chorus]

[alternate chorus]
I appreciate all the forgiveness I get
But I feel I just don't deserve it.
Some people say I have another chance
I hope their right, but at the time it seams all is lost.
Maybe I have another chance, [x4]
Can I please just have one more chance?

[chorus]
(last line changes from "I am mean" to "I can change.")
