SO MANY TRIGGERS

[Verse 1]

Everything I say triggers you

Everything I do triggers you

Even when I’m trying to get it right

Somehow we end up in another fight

And I’m sorry if I blew up

Sorry if I finally had enough

But every time you’re angry with me

I’m the villain in your story

You call me names, I’m the asshole

I’m the problem, I’m the bad guy

I’m the reason that we’re breaking

Even when I don’t know why

[Pre-Chorus]

And I know I’m not perfect

God knows I’ve made mistakes

But how many times can I say I’m sorry

For things I didn’t do anyway?

[CHORUS]

So many triggers, triggers, triggers

Everything I do just pulls one quicker

Everything I say gets twisted around

Till I’m the bad guy letting you down

Sorry, sorry, sorry you’re hurting

Sorry, sorry, sorry we’re burning

But I can’t keep saying I’m guilty

Just to make this disappear

No, I never cheated

No, I never wanted to

No, I’m never going to

It’s not even on my mind

You can be mad at me tonight

But that doesn’t make you right

I’m sorry that you’re hurting—

But I’m not the one doing no good.

[Verse 2]

Ten years, I haven’t touched a drink

Ten years, I haven’t even smoked

Stopped going out with all my friends

Hell, I barely have friends anymore

I work, I come home, I do it again

Trying to build this life we’re living in

And somehow I’m still defending myself

Against somebody I’ve never been

Went to Home Depot after work

Saw Halloween decorations there

Pulled out my phone to show my wife

’Cause I thought that you would care

Some stranger’s talking on his phone

Probably talking to his wife

Now I’m defending where I’ve been

Like I’m living some secret life

[Pre-Chorus]

How did something meant for you

Become something used against me?

How did “look what I found for us”

Turn into “Daniel, you’re cheating”?

[CHORUS]

So many triggers, triggers, triggers

Everything I do just pulls one quicker

Everything I say gets twisted around

Till I’m the bad guy letting you down

Sorry, sorry, sorry you’re hurting

Sorry, sorry, sorry we’re burning

But I can’t keep saying I’m guilty

Just to make this disappear

No, I never cheated

No, I never wanted to

No, I’m never going to

It’s not even on my mind

You can be mad at me tonight

But that doesn’t make you right

I’m sorry that you’re hurting—

But I’m not the one doing no good.

[Bridge — starts quiet]

I’m sorry if I’m distant

I’m sorry if I’m tired

I’m sorry if the pressure

Sometimes turns me into fire

I’m sorry for the things I’ve said

When we were seeing red

I’ll own every single thing I’ve done—

But I won’t own what I haven’t.

[BUILD]

Call me stubborn

Call me angry

Tell me everything that’s wrong with me

But don’t call me a cheater

Don’t tell me I’m a liar

For a stranger’s voice that wasn’t speaking to me

[FINAL CHORUS — BIG]

SO MANY TRIGGERS, TRIGGERS, TRIGGERS

We’re burning down and I can’t fix it

If everything I say becomes another reason

For you to stop believing

Sorry, sorry, sorry you’re hurting

Sorry our love feels like it’s burning

I’ll apologize a thousand times

For every wrong that’s really mine

BUT I NEVER CHEATED

NEVER WANTED TO

NEVER PLANNED TO

NEVER WILL DO

And if loving you means proving

Every second where I’ve been—

I don’t know how I’m supposed to win

Sorry you’re upset with me

Sorry you don’t believe in me

Sorry, sorry, sorry…

But I’m not gonna say I’m guilty

For something I didn’t do.

[Outro — quiet]

Everything I say triggers you

Everything I do triggers you

So many triggers…

And all I wanted

Was to show something

To you.
