The Tide

All of the words that I threw at the wind I knew deep down you were listening And all of the times that I said that was it You seemed to see right through me I played the song of your heartstrings And I broke them one by one You tried to think on the good things But I made sure there were none I thought like the tide I could push you away And somehow I'd manage to pull you back in From seconds to moments to hours to days I realize I'd never have you again Well, gone are the songs that your heart sang And gone are your shoes by the door I wait listening for the doorbell to ring But it don't make a sound anymore Maybe in time I will take all the blame And be the mistake that you won't make again Sometime down the line, Lord, I might change my ways But until then, I'll be your cloudy day
