The Field Lyrics

Excuse me mister, have you got a light

'Cause the one in me went out last night

When she trashed herself and left me to rust

Choking on the clouds of ash and dust

Thrown up from the tires

Spinning out our dirt road

Taking and making a house out of this home

So don't be sorry that your tears are gone

'Cause the perfect night still has its dawn

Now you say I'm a burden

And your friends say I'm a plague

And my demons remind me

I'd be better off dead

But I love you and wish you

The best for your life

Even if it costs me you, my light

I wish I were a better man

I wish I would've known

Where my love fell short

And where I could've grown

I'm sorry I'm so sorry

I'm so sorry, I'm a mess

The other man's a lucky one

I wish you both the best

Don't be sorry that your tears are gone

I'll bear your darkness and carry on

In hopes that one day soon you'll see

Just how it feels to be like me

My only lot left in this life

Is to till this field of pain and strife

'Cause I've got nowhere else for me to go

I plant my failure in the sod

Drowning neck deep in my own thoughts

As my doubts and fears begin to grow

Don't be sorry that your tears are gone

I'll bear your darkness and carry on

In hopes that one day soon you'll see

Just how it feels to be like me

Emotions so deep, my insides are twisting

My brain's overtaken, my lips lose all feeling

I'm quivering, bare, but what do you care

Would it be better if I just stopped breathing

I wish I were a better man, I wish I would've known

Where my love for you fell short

And where I could've grown

I'm sorry I'm so sorry

I'm so sorry, I'm a mess

The other man's a lucky one

I wish you both the best

Don't be sorry that your tears are gone

I'll bear your darkness and carry on

In hopes that one day soon you'll see

Just how it feels to be like me
