The Ones We Couldn't Be

歌詞

It's hard to say now who left first It used to seem so clear You and I were tangled from the start Somehow the scales just fell away And I'm left standing here Blown open in the hole that was my part I wrap the dark around me There's no solace here tonight There's just wishing and regret for company My glass is raised for all the ways We tried to get it right And I'm sorry for the ones we couldn't be I'm so sorry for the ones we couldn't be Looking through these photographs Searching for a clue How you and I got tangled from the start Not even blood could forge a bond Enough to get us through Or stem the tides that pulled us far apart I'm sorry for the ways I couldn't give you What you needed For all the ways I strung us both along They say it goes both ways and I suppose I could concede it Seems to matter more, now that you're gone And though it seems much kinder Just to leave some things unsaid Like all the ways I tore myself apart If you really want forgiveness, better Try the truth instead It may not be enough, but it's a start I wrap the dark around me There's no solace here tonight There's just wishing and regret for company My glass is raised for all the ways We tried to get it right And I'm sorry for the ones we couldn't be I'm so sorry for the ones Sorry for the ones I'm so sorry for the one I couldn't be
