There's things I know I should have mentioned sooner
But I didn't know how
I'm sorry I lost you
I never thought that this could come between us
I know it's water and bridges now
Bt what's the sense in carrying around this weight T
These words are tearing me apart

That's enough for the back to break
That's an awful lot to take
But I've been paying for it
Since I drove my girl away
And that's the sign of a solemn man
I'll make the best of the best I can
And I'll be better for it
If I ever get my chance

That face
I know exactly what your thinking
But I'm certain this time is different
And that's why I can't pretend that everything is mended
I know I've tried to for too long now
But what's the sense in carrying around this weight
These words are tearing us apart

That's enough for the back to break
That's an awful lot to take
But I've been paying for it
Since I drove my girl away
And that's the sign of a solemn man
I'll make the best of the best I can
And I'll be better for it
If I ever get my chance

Oh save me from the grey life
Oh save me from the grey life
I've paid the price with my soul
Oh save me

That's enough for the ship to break
That's an awful lot to take
But I've been paying for it
Since I drove my girl away
And that's the sign of a solemn man
I'll make the best of the best I can
And I'll be better for it
If I ever get my chance
If I ever get my chance
If I ever get my chance
