The Art of Contrition Lyrics

I had a thought: a thought that you'd need me too

I had a thought: that you'd run away with me

But these rings on our fingers have no meaning to them anymore

But he's staring at you so you head to the bar

So don't try to stay blameless, only I've tried to fix this

And you won't say that it's over but it's me painted guilty

So don't try to stay blameless, we all know you're not in this

And you won't say that it's over but my arms are here empty

Well I heard the talk: the talk about you and him

Yeah I heard the talk: about how he wants me gone

But what he doesn't realize, is that you'd rather keep me on

But I'm finding a way to get you to just say if

So don't try to stay blameless, only I've tried to fix this

And you won't say that it's over but it's me painted guilty

So don't try to stay blameless, we all know you're not in this

And you won't say that it's over but my arms are here empty

So don't try to stay blameless, only I've tried to fix this

And you won't say that it's over but it's me painted guilty

So don't try to stay blameless, we all know you're not in this

And you won't say that it's over but my arms are here empty
