The Ones We Couldn't Be |
| It’s hard to say now who left first |
| It used to seem so clear |
| You and I were tangled from the start |
| Somehow the scales just fell away |
| And I’m left standing here |
| Blown open in the hole that was my part |
| I wrap the dark around me |
| There’s no solace here tonight |
| Just wishing and regret for company |
| My glass is raised for all the ways |
| We tried to get it right |
| And I’m sorry for the ones we couldn’t be |
| I’m so sorry for the ones we couldn’t be |
| Looking through these photographs |
| Searching for a clue |
| How you and I got tangled from the start |
| Not even blood could forge a bond |
| Enough to get us through |
| Or stem the tides that pulled us far apart |
| I’m sorry for the ways I couldn’t give you |
| What you needed |
| For all the ways I strung us both along |
| They say it goes both ways and I suppose |
| I could concede it |
| Seems to matter more, now that you’re gone |
| And though it seems much kinder |
| Just to leave some things unsaid |
| Like all the ways I tore myself apart |
| If you really want forgiveness |
| You better try the truth instead |
| It may not be enough, but it’s a start |
| I wrap the dark around me |
| And there’s no solace here tonight |
| There’s just wishing and regret for company |
| My glass is raised for all the ways |
| We tried to get it right |
| And I’m sorry for the ones we couldn’t be |
| I’m so sorry for the ones |
| Sorry for the ones |
| I’m sorry for the one I couldn’t be |
