You never need forgiveness. Left home at seventeen. Raised up on hate. . To a life that's second rate. I've seen that look before. Behind some closing door.
I was walkin' through the forest. One cold and dreary morn. My heart sick with jealousy. And memories I need no more. . No I could never kill a man. But I would do him harm.
Started out so simple. Everything so innocent and plain. She was in a doorway. And I was walking nowhere down the main. She whispered something softly.
I pulled myself out of the mess. So everyone could breathe. I took the red-eye home. I was the only one to leave. When looks are daggers. Words are guns.
Here on the outskirts of life. Dreams seldom come true. Flippin' through photographs emotional holographs. Cutouts of all the figures you might've been.
So the story is often told. Of how a man sells his soul. And how it's lost before he knows. And all he's left with is his palace of gold. He's got more than he needs.
I don't know if I ever wanted. The things you said we wanted together. Now and forever. Too many nights I'd lie awake. Listening to every breath you'd take.
I never been a mess like this before. Coming apart at the seams. I feel like a fugitive. Walking through another man's dreams. I go to bed thinking about caving in.
I can't believe it's true I finally got you here. I've been waiting for this moment for some years. Ive been torn down enough to know. Everyone goes through this door.
Well the best defense is the bright lights. Underneath which you commit that dark crime. Look I was there. I watched it all go down. . And I still can't believe my eyes.
What's so obvious now. . Was just as obvious then. . What the whole world already knew. . I was the last to admit. . I guess I'm a fool. . But I just can't stand the pain.
Things are much worse. Than what I first let on. I'm spinning out. I don't know how I let things get. So far gone. So far gone. . I don't know how I. Let the stakes get so high.
We met in Montreal. Far from the crime. Moving in circles. Running with so little time. Sat and we talked. About rumors and lies. Stayed til the sun hit the floor.
Well I've been out walking. Talking to moon and tree. And the tall spring grass. Like waves on a dark green sea. So much of what we are. We will always be.
[Verse 1]. I live on this rock. Where the grass don't grow. And talk is cheap well I ought to know. And I'm not proud of this world we've made. Still it's a part of you and me.
Well I take my time. Never notice changes anyway. But lately I've been waking up to. All that we've done, change that has come. There's just no escaping the damage we do.
What took so long to build took a moment to slip away. You could barely hide the satisfaction on your face. Time takes another day. Changes you in subtle ways.
Strange and beautiful are the stars tonight. That dance around your head. In your eyes I see that perfect world. I hope that doesn't sound too weird. .
You're feeling over the hill. Chasin' powder and pills. But you don't mind the taste. Of the slow burnin' waste. Until you feel like trash. Ya might as well have a gas.
Nothing can compare. To how I feel. When I'm by your side. And nothing can compare. To the world. I see in your eyes. Cause I. Know where you go. Love how you know.
