A Tried and Tested Method

The one that led out paths astray I didnt want to give away too much too soon Cynicism the mistake I drove right through You said hard work would heal this rift I created I should have heeded every word you say My late confessions come through fear and alcohol My late confessions come through fear and alcohol I never saw you as the innocent one I never realised 'til today I should have heeded every word you say I thought that you'd accept how I behaved You said hard work would heal this rift I created But then it's still too late for you my friend
