I Cried, I Wep

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 worst I'm blessed

But I don't have time to change, my love
And all my thoughts of what this could have been
Will rain down from above
And I don't have strength to fight, my dear

That I've wasted all my glory days
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 worst 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
I offered my neck like a good boy should

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 worst I'm blessed
