I Cried, I Wept (Acoustic Mix)

I cried, I wept, I lost my mind

I held my tongue till the closing time

And who's to blame for all this mess?

Well, it's only me for the words I'm blessed

But I don't have time to change, my love

And all my thoughts on what this could have been

Well, they rained down from above

And I don't have strength to find, my dear

That I've wasted all my glory days

Oh, that's all I have to fear

I cried, I wept, I lost my mind

I held my tongue till the closing time

And who's to blame for all this mess?

Well, it's only me for the words I'm blessed

I swore to God I would not yield

I broke my back in the open field

But, when they came, they came for blood

Well, I offered my neck like a good boy should

But I don't have words to use, my friend

When the ghosts of all this ever was

Well, they're waiting in the end

And I don't want stories told in time

Saying that we stood upon the brink of this

But we failed to cross the line

I cried, I wept, I lost my mind

I held my tongue till the closing time

And who's to blame for all this mess?

Well, it's only me for the words I'm blessed

Maybe that's the way it goes, oh

Litanies, and summer shows, and

Rolling eyes and "told you so"s and

Suddenly, the sky comes falling down

Through the drain pipe

I promise it's alright

I cried, I wept, I lost my mind

Oh, well, I held my tongue till the closing time

And who's to blame for all this mess?

Woah, well, it's only me for the words I'm blessed
