Silver Circle

[Verse 1]

The silver circle lays beside the home we used to own

The warmth that it had gathered up is scattered from the cold

I could hold your hand eternally and never see the blue return to red

The silver circle's emptiness is swallowin' me whole

No part of me will ever see this ring regain its soul

What I would give to be the one to dry your tears and bring the smile back to your face

It's not my place

[Chorus]

And I know things ain't how you planned

But I am just a man

Blood in my veins and breath inside my lungs

And I know there is no excuse

But what am I to do

You're all I know and I can't let you go

[Verse 2]

The silver circle lays beside the home we used to own

The naked fingers hide inside the fist that's getting old

My muscles ache to open up, but shame is like a prison to the mind

The silver circle and its girl have never left my sight

Though they keep me on the fringe I won't go down without a fight

My heart is set, my mind is made, redemption is a shadow I will chase

I will chase

[Chorus]

And I know things ain't how you planned

But I am just a man

Blood in my veins and breath inside my lungs

And I know there is no excuse

But what am I to do

You're all I know and I can't let you go, no

[Verse 3]

The silver circle seems to laugh and sing of lessons learned

But from dust the silver rose, and back to dust it will return

Time seems like the enemy, but peace is always born to break your name

Just you wait

[Chorus]

And I know things ain't how you planned

But I am just a man

Blood in my veins and breath inside my lungs

And I know there is no excuse

But what am I to do

You're all I know and I can't let you go-o, yeah

No, I can't let you go-o

No, I can't let you go
