lyrics

Maybe all my problems would just vanish
If I never said a word
All these awful things I've said
You never would have heard

Maybe we could just be strangers
Ships passing in the night
I would have finally found the answers
I might have finally got it right

And spared us all this pain until another time
And we would have found our place

I'm holding out hope I'll know where to go
When the gavel's coming down
Cause no one but me is ever looking to see
If anybody else is around
I know I was wrong but I wasn't alone
When we crashed into the ground
Enough time's been wasted loosing everything
So it's time that something's found

I thought I'd put it all together
But I was only getting worse
I was only digging deeper
Building a temple for my hurt

I ignored all the warnings
And I cut down all the signs
Until I was just a shadow
And disappeared with the night

I tried to run away and leave this town behind
But somehow I just stayed

I'm holding out hope I'll know where to go
When the gavel's coming down
Cause no one but me is ever looking to see
If anybody else is around
I know I was wrong but I wasn't alone
When we crashed into the ground
Enough time's been wasted loosing everything
So it's time that something's found

Our days they are so few
So why should I have wasted mine on you
When all of this is through
There's a judgement coming soon
