Bless me father I have sinned,
I'm not sure where to begin.
I won't name names or where I've been,
But I've been there and back again.
No Hail Marys will save me
You learned to live with memories
Here, slip this sinner up your sleeve
Just stay inside until I leave
Chorus:
I've been running, always running
Never have both feet on the floor.
I've been running, always running
Now I ain't runnning anymore...
The hands of time may tick no more
Let darkness fall upon this door
No waves will wash up on this shore
I won the fight but lost the war
chorus
There were roses I have loved
Who've given or have given up
I pushed your patience and my luck
It wasn't love I didn't trust
It wasn't you, or me, or us
You've shouldered ifs, and ands, and buts
It's not that way ok, I've said too much
chorus
