sit down my friend i wanted to tell you since you put that moat around your pretty castle of hurts and griefs and sores well i nearly drowned trying to save you and you should know i ain t coming around anymore now don t say you re sorry cause it s not your fault dear it s a cruel world you live in and it s bound to get in your bones your skin your eyes but don t ask me why i m giving up cause you don t want the answer and damn me to hell if i tell another sweet lie now when i think about all the times you put your trust in me i want to cry because it s too much and i don t know how to be the friend you need in me i ve tried but this is giving up there was a time when i d find you hanging from your tree and i d take my knife and i d try hard to cut you down but this old ground oh it s so cracked and cratered now i m afraid that you re never gonna find your feet chorus
