Fences

You always were my refuge, were my shoulder
There was always a place to lay my head
And i should have taken your hand
Should've held it as we stumbled
But i let it slip
I let it go instead

For i cannot give you as much as i owe you
I don't have enough love to pay my debts
I thought i'd have aplenty
But now i see i'm pretty empty
And the longer we linger
The worse it gets

So i'll plant fences round my dwelling like a garden
And wrap chains around my body like a cloak
And i'll bite my tongue and ask him for forgiveness
For the hearts and vows and promises i broke
And i'll bite my tongue and ask him for forgiveness
For the hearts and vows and promises i broke

Don't you waste a tear for me
Don't you waste your time with me
Don't you waste yourself for me
Don't you waste a tear for me
Don't you waste your time with me
Don't
