Water and Bridges

There's things I know I should have 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 its water and bridges now 

But what's the sense in carrying around 
This weight, these words are tearing me apart 

And that's enough for the back to break 
That's enough for a mouth 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 

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 me apart 

And that's enough for the back to break 
That's enough for a mouth 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 

Oh save me from a grey life 
Oh save me from a grey life 
I paid the price with my soul 
Oh save me 

And that's enough for the back to break 
That's enough for a mouth 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 
If I ever get my chance 
If I ever get my chance 
If I ever get my chance
