Guilt Lyrics

Stammering and drunk

Heart hammering and stuck in place

I could try to explain, instead I stutter in your face

And I make a big scene

Then I spend the whole night cryin

'cause I've always felt this way

Unable to let go of things that I cannot change

And what's done has been done, and will be done again

And there's nothing I can do it seems

I would tell you that I love you, but that's not the truth

I just can't let something bad ever happen to you

I can't let something bad ever happen to you, again

My heart has been broken before

My head has been empty, my feelings ignored

But nothing has ever gone deeper so far

Than that one sinking feeling, that night with no stars

I see your smiling face, full of forgiveness and grace

But will it ever be enough to pull me out of this place?

That's way down, deeper now, all the way down

In the dark?

I would tell you that I love you, but that's not the whole truth

I just can't let something bad ever happen to you

I can't let something bad ever happen to you, again

Then I spend the next day cryin

'cause I've always felt this way

Unable to let go of things that I cannot change

And if there's anything, anything in the world I could change

Please don't be afraid to tell me

I would tell you that I love you, and that's not untrue

I just can't let something bad ever happen to you

I can't let something bad ever happen to you, again
