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 its water and bridges now But what's the sense in carrying around This weight, these words are tearing me apart And that's enough for the back to break That's enough for a mouth 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 you're 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 me apart And that's enough for the back to break That's enough for a mouth 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 a gray life Oh save me from a gray life I paid the price with my soul Oh save me And that's enough for the back to break That's enough for a mouth 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 If I ever get my chance
