I Cried, I Wept

I cried, I wept, I lost my mind
I held my tongue till the closing time
Hell, who's to blame for all this mess?
Well, it's only me, for the worst, I'm blessed
And I don't have time to change, my love
All my thoughts on what this could've been
Well, they rain down from above
And I don't have the strength to fight, my dear
Well, I've wasted all my glory days
It's all I have to fear

I cried, I wept, I lost my mind
I held my tongue till the closing time
Hell, who's to blame for all this mess?
Well, it's only me, for the worst, I'm blessed
I swore to God I would not heal
I broke my back in the open field
Well, when they came, they came for blood
Well, I offered my neck like a good boy should
Well, I don't have words to use, my friend
Well, the ghosts of all this ever was
Well, they're waiting in the end
And I don't want stories told, in time
Sayin' that we stood upon the brink of this
But we failed to cross the line

I cried, I wept, I lost my mind
I held my tongue till the closing time
Hell, who's to blame for all this mess?
Well, it's only me, for the worst, I'm blessed
Baby, that's the way it goes, oh
Litanies and summer shows, and
Rolling eyes and told you sos, and
Suddenly, the sky comes falling down
Through the drainpipe
I promise it's alright
I cried, I wept, I lost my mind
Oh, well, I held my tongue till the closin' time
Hell, who's to blame for all this mess?
Whoa, well, it's only me, for the worst, I'm blessed
