Excuse me mister Have you got a light Cuz the one in me went out last night When she trashed herself, and left me to rust Choking on the clouds of ash and dust Thrown up from his tires, spinning out our dirt road Taking and making a house out of this home Don’t be sorry that my tears are gone Because the perfect night still has its dawn
You said I was a burden Your friends say I’m a plague And my demons remind me I’d be better off dead But I love you and wish you the best for your life Even if it costs me, you, my light I wish I were a better man I wish I would have known Where my love for you fell short And where I could have grown I’m sorry I’m so sorry I’m so sorry I’m a mess The other man’s a lucky one I wish you both the best
Don’t be sorry That your tears are gone I’ll bear your darkness And carry on In hopes that one day soon you’ll see Just what it means to feel like me My only lot left in this life Is to till this field of pain and strife Cuz I’ve got nowhere else for me to go I plant my failures in the sod Drowning neck deep in my own thoughts As my doubts n’ fears begin to grow
Don’t be sorry That your tears are gone I’ll bear your darkness And carry on In hopes that one day soon you’ll see Just how it feels to be like me
Emotions so deep my insides are twisting My brains’ overtaken, my lips lose all feeling I’m quivering, bare, but what do you care Would it be better if I just stopped breathing? I wish I would have seen the signs I wish I would have known Where my love fell short for you and Where we could have grown I’m sorry I’m so sorry I’m so sorry I’m a mess But I’ll love you til the very end I wish you both the best Don’t be sorry That your tears are gone I’ll bear your darkness And carry on In hopes that one day soon you’ll see Just how it feels to be like me
