Off My Chest

About three years ago You gave me that necklace How many have come And gone since then For me it's been Just a few worried women For you It seems I've lost count The wires been rusted I had to replace it I'd rip it right off If I just found the strength to Cause often I find that The weight of this chain Just holds me down Months go by Without ever hearing A sentence fly From those lips I keep kicking myself Over that goodbye kiss I can't just take the pain Of putting my trust in a So-called saint So now I need to put this all to rest And finally get it off my chest How have I lived With the constant reminder Of what could have been And how you left it behind you With every new man I'd watch from right beside you Biting my tongue Letting you fall For somebody new When you said no ones Made you feel like I do But you have a talent For twisting the truth That's second to none Months go by Without ever hearing A sentence fly From those lips I keep kicking myself Over that goodbye kiss I can't just take the pain Of putting my trust in a So-called saint So now I need to put this all to rest And finally get it off my chest Is it worth holding words In the face of a lie Collect my concerns And set them aside If I silently slip away Like those ghosts I always chase Would I be the one You can blame Months go by Without ever hearing A sentence fly From those lips I keep kicking myself Over that goodbye kiss I can't just take the pain Of putting my trust in a So-called saint So now I need to put this all to rest And finally get it off my chest
