The Tide (Live)

All of the words that I threw at the wind Well, I knew deep down you were listening And all of the times that I said that was it Well, you seemed to see right through me Well, 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 Thought like the tide I could push you away 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 sings And gone are your shoes by the door I wait listening for the doorbell to ring But it don't make a sound anymore Well, 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
