Mea Culpa

We shared a common trade of reasoning out the yearsOf failed affections and faces to forgetYou should have told meThat the ties that made it all worth the whileWere quickly becoming a race to the blameI tried to gain the advantage over youIts plain to see there's nothing I could do or sayI tried to gain the advantage over youA sad parade with nothing left to lose or gainI could feel it comingLike a train wreck, rumbling off the tracksWith every ounce of strengthI strained to pay back that dirty moneyAnd the fortune abstract, but there's no feeling left intactFor the victim is now a god,Doling out judgment, strike with divining rodI don't want to get involved, looks like you're doing fineBut when I lay up at night, I can feel your eyesAnd I can see your eyes, and I go rushing in to a world insideWhere there's none in between, and nothing can be deniedStruck down and stripped of pride,That I could forgive you for once in our livesBut I failed, and I don't know why, Ill never know whyI failed and I don't know why
