Lyrics
There aren’t enough words
In this broken language to convey or communicate
My love for you, it grounds me
Gives me purpose in a world, a world that stopped making sense
The life of the drugs
And the love of the girl
I was wrong and I
Can’t take it back
Why couldn’t your love be enough?
I stand and watch as all my bridges burn
There’s only me to blame
Promises in vain all start to sound, they start to sound the same
A thousand chances later and still nothing has really changed
And still you love the same
The life of the drugs
And the love of the girl
I was wrong and I
Can’t take it back
Why couldn’t your love be enough?
I stand and watch as all my bridges burn
I know I broke your heart
I’m way beyond ‘too far’
Now here comes my window
To make sure that you know
I’d rather die than let you down again
The life of the drugs
And the love of the girl
I was wrong and I
Can’t take it back
Why couldn’t your love be enough?
Why?
A life of drugs
And the faith of a girl
I was wrong
And I can’t take it back
I stand and watch my bridges burn
