Lyrics

You always were my refuge, were my shelter,
There was always a place to lay my head
And I should've taken your hand, should've held it as we stumbled,
But I'd let it slip, I'd let it go instead.

For I cannot give you as much as I owe you,
I don't have enough love to pay my debts,
I thought I'd have a plenty, but now I see I'm pretty empty,
And the longer we linger the worse it gets.

ohhh...

So I'll plant fences 'round my dwelling like a garden,
Wrap chains around my body like a cloak.
And bite my tongue, not asking for forgiveness
For the hearts and bones and promises I broke.

And I'll bite my tongue, not asking for forgiveness
For the hearts and bones and promises I broke.

Don't you waste a tear for me,
Don't you waste your time for me,
Don't you waste yourself for me.
Don't you waste a tear for me,
Don't you waste your time with me,
Don't.
