There's things I know, I should have mentioned sooner, But I didn't, know how. I'm sorry I lost you. I never thought that this could come between us, I know, It's water and bridges now. But what's the sense of carrying around this weight? These words are tearing me apart.
[Chorus] That's enough for the back to break, That's an awful lot to take, But I've been paying for it since I drove my girl away. And that's the sign of a solemn man, I make the best of the best I can. And I'll be better for it if I ever get my chance.
That face, I know exactly what you're thinking, But I'm certain this time, it's different, Thats why I can't pretend that everything is mending. I know, I've tried to for too long now. But what's the sense of carrying around this weight. These words are tearing us apart.
[Chorus] That's enough for the back to break, That's an awful lot to take, But I've been paying for it since I drove my girl away. And that's the sign of a solemn man, I make the best of the best I can. And I'll be better for it if I ever get my chance.
Oh save me from a grey life, Oh save me from a grey life, I've paid the price with my soul, Oh save me.
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus] That's enough for the back to break, That's an awful lot to take, But I've been paying for it since I drove my girl away. And that's the sign of a solemn man, I make the best of the best I can. And I'll be better for it if I ever get my chance.
If I ever get my chance If I ever get my chance If I ever get my chance If I ever get my chance
