I'm just a little tired
I don't seem to rest as well
When I lay with frantic thoughts
And conversations dwell
What was that you said
About the future looking bright
For whom did you think of
Your daughter or your son
Or me, the one who can't look back
The one who carries the weight of loss
For your gain
Let down your guard and let me cross
To stand as the same
To love is to leave you
Nod if you can feel
The sadness in my breath
Inhale this honesty
It's all that I've got left
I'm leavin' here tomorrow
And the future's looking bright
Hold down this home
Hold up this light
For me, the one who can't look back
The one who carries the weight of loss
For your gain
Let down your guard and let me cross
To stand as the same
Kiss them all goodbye
And take my place
This is the song of sorrow
This is the song of my debt
This is the timbre of woe
This is the tone of my regret
I don't seem to rest as well
When I lay with frantic thoughts
And conversations dwell
What was that you said
About the future looking bright
For whom did you think of
Your daughter or your son
Or me, the one who can't look back
The one who carries the weight of loss
For your gain
Let down your guard and let me cross
To stand as the same
To love is to leave you
Nod if you can feel
The sadness in my breath
Inhale this honesty
It's all that I've got left
I'm leavin' here tomorrow
And the future's looking bright
Hold down this home
Hold up this light
For me, the one who can't look back
The one who carries the weight of loss
For your gain
Let down your guard and let me cross
To stand as the same
Kiss them all goodbye
And take my place
This is the song of sorrow
This is the song of my debt
This is the timbre of woe
This is the tone of my regret
