Yes it hurt when you took it all away
'Cause now I'm here and you're gone
'Cause I was the last one you told
About our problems
There you were and there I stood
Covered in the blood of my mother
Desperation for restoration
There I am crawling to the Father
Turn your face from our mistakes
The mistakes we made were all mine
All that covering of your eyes
Well you'd think that you had gone blind
'Cause I could write
A thousand songs
To say I'm sorry
For what went wrong
And I could write
A thousand songs
Wouldn't change a thing
Cause I'm there trying
And you're there lying
You aren't listening
Cause I'm there trying
And you're there lying
You aren't listening
So speak your lies and throw your knives
At least you'll have your pride, your pride
So speak your lies and throw your knives
At least you'll have your pride, your pride
Push everyone away my friend
At least you'll have your pride, your pride
I could write
A thousand songs
To say I'm sorry
For what went wrong
And I could write
A thousand songs
Wouldn't change a thing
Cause I'm there trying
And you're there lying
You aren't listening
Cause I'm there trying
And you're there lying
You aren't listening
Work so hard to get it right
You've lost sight of the light
All that tinkering with the machine
You've forgotten what it's supposed to be
But I could write
A thousand songs
To say I'm sorry
For what went wrong
But I could write
A thousand songs
Wouldn't change a thing
Cause I'm there trying
And you're there lying
You aren't listening
