lyrics

11. lament

take it from a man with a heart that's carved from stone
love ain't easy nothing's easy
tell that man that he might end up alone
he won't believe you won't believe you

now here I am with my pride
but I tried


take it from a man who roamed the streets at night
always thinking always thinking
wondering how he'd ever make things right
please forgive me please forgive me

I let you down I won't deny
just know I tried

take it from a man whose days are winding down
like a sunset like the sundown
memories keep swimming round & round & around
endless circles all in circles

it's not for me to decide
at least I tried
this world is cold but I'm warm inside
because I tried
