I Cried, I Wept

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 don't have time to change

My love

And all my thoughts on what this could have been

Well they've rained down from above

And I don't have strength to find

My dear

That I've wasted all my glory days

Well 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

And 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 of 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 all right

I cried, I wept, I lost my mind

Oh, and I held my tongue till the closing time

And who's to blame for all this mess

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