Shelby Jean - every inch Lyrics

I stand alone, feet in the water
Hand on my sword, eyes on the sky
I'm in the right, but victory's bitter
Watching you fall so I can rise

I was a good man, wasn't I
I was a good man, so why

Can't I shake your ghost
Can't I find my peace
Can't stop clenching my fists
Or grinding my teeth
All I've ever done, all I ever will do
Every inch of it somehow still belongs to you

I run the ruins, following fire
The ashes are cold but I'm not relieved
Pacing the graveyard with smoke in my footsteps
Cursing the hero you had to be

I was a good man, wasn't I
I was a good man, so why

Can't I shake your ghost
Can't I find my peace
Can't stop clenching my fists
Or grinding my teeth
All I've ever done, all I ever will do
Every inch of it somehow still belongs to you

I used to tell myself it wasn't worth the time
But now there's nothing left to keep me from wondering why
You had to hold so tightly to your pride
You couldn't ever let a dead thing lie
And now neither can I

Why can't I shake your ghost
Can't I find my peace
Can't stop clenching my fists
Or grinding my teeth
All I've ever done, all I ever will do
Every inch of it somehow still belongs to you
