it's been 20 years since i rose & cleared my throat
it’s been 10 years since i stood outside the church
it’s been 9 years since the ground became the sky
it’s been 8 years since i found an alibi
it’s been 6 years since the dogs picked up the game
it’s been 4 years since i learned to love the pain
it’s been 1 year since i stole life from the grave
and over all these years, just three things i've tried to say
ch
i was wrong i'm sorry
and i love you
v2
i welcome everyone but give 'em nothing when they arrive
or else build a house with no way to come inside
i've learned to hide my tears, learned to hold them deep inside and then sell my fears just to pick your pockets dry
ch
bridge
i have misled you
i have misread you
i've cared too much and not enough in the same breath you've been my hope
my stretch of rope in life and death
ch
