Seven Years

Seven Years and 27 days

and countless different ways

that I have suffered

For seven years I've kept my peace

and the faith I've placed in you

but now I wonder

I fought the law and I fought the urge

to fall in love and we

we fought together

A twist of fate, an itching need

was how we came to be

and how we ended

One more time around

We both know that I don't belong in here

I've carried our cross

I'm not the one to blame

One more time around

and the seven years that I have given you

if silence is a crime

then I'm guilty as charged

Seven Years and 27 ways

in which I blame myself and we

we blame each other

What we did we did so we

could feel limitless and free

and love each other

One more time around

We both know that I don't belong in here

I've carried our cross

I'm not the to blame

One more time around

and the seven years of pain I've given you

If suffering is a crime

then I'm guilty as charged

Now it's time to cut my losses

now there's no looking back

The time for reconciliation

has come and gone my friend

We have severed our old ties and

and counted up the cost

Sick of waiting

I am changing

One more time around

This time I'm gonna pass it on to you

You can carry this cross

and carry the shame

One more time around

This time I'm gonna stand my ground with you

If anger is a crime

then I'm guilty as charged
