Lyrics
If I could see you again
Not just the baggage but the real you
I’d admit all the crimes that I didn’t commit
I’d force on the glove I was sure wouldn’t fit
Cuz I can’t seem to break free
I’m jailor and warden and prisoner too
I belong in a place where I can’t hurt myself
Where I can’t be abandoned by anyone else
Cuz I can’t understand
I tried to follow your plan
And be like the man who
You offered your hand to
All those long years ago
But time ain’t broken or fixed
It follows a course of its own design
It’s a train with no track that’s beyond all control
A mission of mercy without any soul
And I can’t seem to give in
I’m long past the point of continuing
Claim your prize, we both know that nothing is free
And since you’re the victor, claim the pale husk of me
Cuz I can’t understand
I tried to follow your plan
And be like the man who
You offered your hand to
All those long years ago
Cuz I can’t understand
I tried to follow your plan
And be like the man who
You offered your hand to
Not so very long ago
