The Ships Lyrics

I saw you standing on the bridge

I saw you tangled in your fringe

I saw you wince and sip your cup

Let's see how long you can keep it up

I saw you standing on the beach

I heard you question what you preach

I saw you shrug and sell your soul

It all feels different now since we got old

I saw you pass along the blame

I saw the guilt under your shame

I see the wolves approach your door

But then, you've never had friends before

I watched you push the truth aside

And then you mumbled as they cried

You were the one to mend its sides

And then you stumbled as it died

Oh, I guess this what you're gonna be

So many opportunities for coming clean

Help me please

Oh, I guess you've shown them

What you're gonna be

Missed opportunities for coming clean

But we'll see

So you're back with your old boys now

You think you've made your mother proud?

'Cause once again the song repeats

Could be the company that you keep

I watched your conscience start to slide

Tried to take it all in stride

You took my trust, I'll take my pride

You gotta live with this the rest of your life
