[Verse 1]
There's things I know I should've 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]
And that's enough for the back to break
That's enough for a life 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'll make the best of the best I can
And I'll be better for it if I ever get my chance
[Verse 2]
That face, I know exactly what you're thinking
But I'm certain this time is different
And that's why I can't pretend that everything is mended
I know I've tried to for too long now
But what's the sense in carrying around this weight?
These words are tearing us apart
[Chorus]
And that's enough for the back to break
That's enough for a life 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'll make the best of the best I can
And I'll be better for it if I ever get my chance
[Bridge]
Oh, save me from a gray life
Oh, save me from the gray life
I've paid the price with my soul
Oh, save me
[Chorus]
And that's enough for the back to break
That's enough for a life 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'll make the best of the best I can
And I'll be better for it if I ever get my chance
[Outro]
If I ever get my chance, if I ever get my chance
If I ever get my chance
