You let me speak, And all these words walk Strange distances, Like a fool's journey-- But you just watch the sand Slip by, grain by grain, Through the hourglass, Unchecked. I can see your eyes tonight, And they look like mine, Wild, Sight unseeing, Full of destiny and despair, But they sing for different reasons, And I cannot tell a lie-- I broke these promises, I made this bed, This is my mistake and I, I just dragged you along For the ride. Still you hear me out, Letting these words of mine Fall like shattered glass, And I don't tell you what I know That you want to hear-- Sometimes the truth hurts More than any lie. I've got a blue-eyed soul And I try to do things my way, But I'm sorry if I hurt you With all those things That you think I did, But in reality, You've earned all your illusions. I'm sorry every girl you've ever known, Has broken your heart At least once, But you yourself have told me That nice guys finish last. |
