I’ve got myself into a mess These last few months it seems The words I said and what I did Ain’t exactly what I mean
There comes a time when feelings die And the only thing left is a friend So we part ways, on our own Pain drifts as time starts to mend (Chorus 1) And I don’t want to lead you around truth be told I lead myself I done enough you’re wearin’ the frown As I put you up high on the shelf
Days go by I realize just what it is we done You say I try to hide, and turn my tail and run But that’s not it, you never tried to make your stand Not even when I stood right there and held your hand (Chorus 2) I don’t want to lead you around You never tried to be yourself Too many times, you laid down and died In the end it’s the hand you’ve dealt
Here we are, the fog’s a rolled right in You say I quit and let you go That may be true, but I still love you Why didn’t you step up and show (Chorus 3) And I remember yesterday The thought of us and your smiling face If the road remained unchanged Maybe we’d be in a different place
